Bio Background |
Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels represent the mostcomplex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functionaland structural standpoints. Their diverse functions includeregulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smoothmuscle contraction, and cell volume. This gene encodes a member ofthe potassium channel, voltage-gated, subfamily F. This gene isintronless and expressed in all tissues tested, including theheart, skeletal muscle, brain, kidney, and pancreas. [provided byRefSeq]. |
