Potassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 6
Gene Summary
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. KCNH6 encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, subfamily H. This member is a pore-forming (alpha) subunit.
