Gene: KCNG3

Alternate names for this Gene: KV10.1|KV6.3

Gene Summary: 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 G. This member is a gamma subunit functioning as a modulatory molecule. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 2

Location in Chromosome : 2p21

Description of this Gene: potassium voltage-gated channel modifier subfamily G member 3

Type of Gene: protein-coding
