Gene: KCNH8 (potassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 8) Homo sapiens

Symbol:

KCNH8

Name:

potassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 8

Description:

Voltage-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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
