Kv8.2 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 voltage-gated channel subfamily V. This member is identified as a'silent subunit', and it does not form ...
