Biology:KCNA6

Short description: Protein-coding gene in humans

Generic protein structure example

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 subunit.
