| Primary Identifier | MGI:96660 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 16491 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable delayed rectifier potassium channel activity and outward rectifier potassium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in action potential and potassium ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within monoatomic ion transmembrane transport. Located in axon. Is expressed in brain; heart; olfactory cortex mantle layer; and telencephalon. Orthologous to human KCNA3 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele display no apparent immune system defects. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele show reduced body weight, increased basal metabolic rate, resistance to diet-induced obesity, increased insulin sensitivity, and altered peripheral glucose metabolism.
