Kv5.1 Products

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 F. This gene is intronless andexpressed in all tissues tested, including the heart, skeletal muscle, brain, kidney, and pancreas. (provided byRefSeq)
