Gene information for KCNH4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID23415
Official gene symbolKCNH4
Full namepotassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 4
Aliases,BEC2,ELK1,Kv12.3,
Gene summaryVoltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functional and structural standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, and cell volume. This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, subfamily H. This member is a pore-forming (alpha) subunit. The gene is brain-specific, and located in the neocortex and the striatum. It may be involved in cellular excitability of restricted neurons in the central nervous system. [provided by RefSeq]
