Gene information for KCNG2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID26251
Official gene symbolKCNG2
Full namepotassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily G, member 2
Aliases,KCNF2,KV6.2,
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 G. This member is a gamma subunit of the voltage-gated potassium channel. The delayed-rectifier type channels containing this subunit may contribute to cardiac action potential repolarization. [provided by RefSeq]
