Gene information for KCNH5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID27133
Official gene symbolKCNH5
Full namepotassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 5
Aliases,EAG2,H-EAG2,Kv10.2,
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 H. This member is a pore-forming (alpha) subunit of a voltage-gated non-inactivating delayed rectifier potassium channel. This gene is not expressed in differentiating myoblasts. Alternative splicing results in three transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
