Name | KCNH4 |
---|---|
Function | Pore-forming (alpha) subunit of voltage-gated potassium channel. Elicits an outward current, but shows no inactivation. Channel properties may be modulated by cAMP and subunit assembly. |
Cellular Location | Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. |
Tissue Location | Detected only in brain, in particular in the telencephalon. Detected in putamen and caudate nucleus, and at lower levels in cerebral cortex, occipital and hippocampus |

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 H. This member is apore-forming (alpha) subunit. The gene is brain-specific, andlocated in the neocortex and the striatum. It may be involved incellular excitability of restricted neurons in the central nervoussystem.
