Gene: KCNU1

Alternate names for this Gene: KCNMC1|KCa5|KCa5.1|Kcnma3|Slo3

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel family of proteins. The encoded voltage-gated ion channel allows the outward flow of potassium ions during plasma membrane hyperpolarization in sperm. Opening of this channel may be regulated by calcium ion levels. Homozygous knockout mice that lack the related mouse gene exhibit male sterility. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
