Gene: HVCN1

Alternate names for this Gene: HV1|VSOP

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a voltage-gated protein channel protein expressed more highly in certain cells of the immune system. Phagocytic cells produce superoxide anions which require this channel protein, and in B cells this same process facilitates antibody production. This same channel protein, however, can also regulate functions in other cells including spermatozoa. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 12

Location in Chromosome : 12q24.11

Description of this Gene: hydrogen voltage gated channel 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
