KCNV1

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 voltage-gated channel subfamily V. This protein is essentially present in the brain, and its role might be to inhibit the function of a particular class of outward rectifier potassium channel types. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

电压门控钾离子通道（Kv通道）从功能与结构两个角度来看，是电压门控离子通道中最复杂的一类。它们的功能多样，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、平滑肌收缩以及细胞体积。该基因编码钾电压门控通道亚家族V的成员。该蛋白主要存在于大脑中，其作用可能在于抑制特定类型的外向整流钾通道的功能。[提供者：RefSeq，2008年7月]
