Kcnh3 - potassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 3 Gene

Also Known as Elk2; Melk2; Kv12.2; C030044P22Rik

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 16512

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a voltage-gated Potassium Channel alpha subunit predominantly expressed in the forebrain. An increase in cognitive function was observed when this gene was knocked out, while deletion of the gene resulted in hippocampal hyperexcitability and epilepsy. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
