Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable potassium channel activity; potassium channel regulator activity; and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Predicted to contribute to delayed rectifier potassium channel activity and voltage-gated potassium channel activity involved in ventricular cardiac muscle cell action potential repolarization. Involved in intracellular chloride ion homeostasis; potassium ion transmembrane transport; and sodium ion transport. Is active in basolateral part of cell. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; ear; forelimb bud; gut; and heart. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Brugada syndrome 6 and hypokalemic periodic paralysis. Orthologous to human KCNE3 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E regulatory subunit 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased cAMP-stimulated electrogenic Cl- secretion across tracheal and intestinal epithelia. Another knock-out allele shows age-dependent alterations in action potential and firing properties of spiral ganglion neurons in the cochlea. [provided by MGI curators] |
