Gene information for KCNE4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID23704
Official gene symbolKCNE4
Full namepotassium voltage-gated channel, Isk-related family, member 4
Aliases,MGC20353,MIRP3,
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, isk-related subfamily. This member is a type I membrane protein, and a beta subunit that assembles with a potassium channel alpha-subunit to modulate the gating kinetics and enhance stability of the multimeric complex. This gene is prominently expressed in the embryo and in adult uterus. [provided by RefSeq]
