Kv6.4 Proteins and Enzymes

Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ion channels from bothfunctional and structural standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating neurotransmitter release, heartrate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, and cellvolume. This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, subfamily G. This member functions as amodulatory subunit. The gene has strong expression in brain. Multiple alternatively spliced variants have been foundin normal and cancerous tissues. (provided by RefSeq)
