Description

potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 5

Gene Summary

Enables delayed rectifier potassium channel activity; outward rectifier potassium channel activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle; positive regulation of myoblast proliferation; and potassium ion export across plasma membrane. Located in several cellular components, including Z disc; intercalated disc; and intracellular canaliculus. Part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Used to study pulmonary hypertension. Biomarker of hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial atrial fibrillation and pulmonary hypertension. Orthologous to human KCNA5 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
