Generic protein structure example


Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily V member 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KCNV1 gene.[1][2] The protein encoded by this gene is a voltage-gated potassium channel subunit.[1][2]

Common variations in the KCNV1 gene have been associated with schizophrenia.[3]
