Gene information for KCNIP2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID30819
Official gene symbolKCNIP2
Full nameKv channel interacting protein 2
Aliases,DKFZp566L1246,KCHIP2,MGC17241,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the family of voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channel-interacting proteins (KCNIPs), which belongs to the recoverin branch of the EF-hand superfamily. Members of the KCNIP family are small calcium binding proteins. They all have EF-hand-like domains, and differ from each other in the N-terminus. They are integral subunit components of native Kv4 channel complexes. They may regulate A-type currents, and hence neuronal excitability, in response to changes in intracellular calcium. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified from this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
