KCNH7 - potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily H member 7 Gene
Also Known as ERG3; HERG3; Kv11.3
Species: Homo sapiens
About KCNH7
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 290 orthologues and 17 paralogues. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 1.6), testis (RPKM 0.5) and 3 other tissues.
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 H. This member is a pore-forming (alpha) subunit. There are at least two alternatively spliced transcript variants derived from this gene and encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
