Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables voltage-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of presynaptic membrane potential. Acts upstream of or within monoatomic ion transmembrane transport and regulation of presynaptic membrane potential. Located in membrane. Is active in axon initial segment. Is expressed in brain; genital tubercle of female; heart; and hindlimb muscle. Orthologous to human KCNA4 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable, fertile and grossly normal; however, a small subset of mutants exhibit spontaneous seizure activity. [provided by MGI curators] |
