Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 6 also known as K
v1.6 is a
protein that in humans is encoded by the ''KCNA6''
gene.
The
protein encoded by this gene is a
voltage-gated potassium channel
Voltage-gated potassium channels (VGKCs) are transmembrane channels specific for potassium and sensitive to voltage changes in the cell's membrane potential. During action potentials, they play a crucial role in returning the depolarized ce ...
