Kcnh3 potassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 3 [ Mus musculus (house mouse) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 16512)
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 16512)
Symbol: Kcnh3
Full name: potassium voltage-gated channel, subfamily H (eag-related), member 3
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Mus musculus
Also known as: C030044P22Rik; Elk2; Kv12.2; Melk2
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]
