Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels represent the mostcomplex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functionaland structural standpoints. Their diverse functions includeregulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion,neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smoothmuscle contraction, and cell volume. This gene encodes a member ofthe potassium channel, voltage-gated, subfamily F. This gene isintronless and expressed in all tissues tested, including theheart, skeletal muscle, brain, kidney, and pancreas. [provided byRefSeq].
