Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 5, HPCN1, Voltage-gated potassium channel HK2, Voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv15, KCNA5
Product description
Potassium channels represent the most complex class of
voltage-gated ino 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. Four sequence-related potassium
channel genes - shaker, shaw, shab, and shal - have been identified
in Drosophila, and each has been shown to have human homolog(s).
This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated,
shaker-related subfamily. This member contains six
membrane-spanning domains with a shaker-type repeat in the fourth
segment. It belongs to the delayed rectifier class, the function of
which could restore the resting membrane potential of beta cells
after depolarization and thereby contribute to the regulation of
insulin secretion. This gene is intronless, and the gene is
clustered with genes KCNA1 and KCNA6 on chromosome 12. [provided by
