Gene information for KCNG3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID170850
Official gene symbolKCNG3
Full namepotassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily G, member 3
Aliases,KV10.1,KV6.3,
Gene summaryVoltage-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 G. This member is a gamma subunit functioning as a modulatory molecule. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
