关于 KCNH8

功能概要

从功能和结构的角度来看，电压门控钾 (Kv) 通道代表了最复杂的一类电压门控离子通道。它们的不同功能包括调节神经递质释放、心率、胰岛素分泌、神经元兴奋性、上皮电解质转运、平滑肌收缩和细胞体积。该基因编码钾通道电压门控 H 亚科的一个成员。该成员是一个成孔 (alpha) 亚基。[RefSeq 提供，2008 年 7 月]

Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ion 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. This gene encodes a member of the Potassium Channel, voltage-gated, subfamily H. This member is a pore-forming (alpha) subunit. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
