KCNE5, Official Symbol KCNE5provided by HGNC Official Full Name potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E regulatory subunit 5provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:6241 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000176076 MIM:300328; AllianceGenome:HGNC:6241 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 KCNE1L Summary This gene encodes a member of a family of single pass transmembrane domain proteins that function as ancillary subunits to voltage-gated potassium channels. Members of this family affect diverse processes in potassium channel regulation, including ion selectivity, voltage dependence, and anterograde recycling from the plasma membrane. Variants of this gene are associated with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation and Brugada syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2016] Orthologs mouse all
