KCND1, Official Symbol KCND1provided by HGNC Official Full Name potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily D member 1provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:6237 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000102057 MIM:300281; AllianceGenome:HGNC:6237 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as KV4.1 Summary This gene encodes a multipass membrane protein that comprises the pore subunit of the voltage-gated A-type potassium channel, which functions in the repolarization of membrane action potentials. Activity of voltage-gated potassium channels is important in a number of physiological processes, among them the regulation of neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, and smooth muscle contraction.
