Also known as Kv12.1elk3
Summary
KCNH8 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily H member 8, HGNC:18864) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 3p24.3, encoding Voltage-gated delayed rectifier potassium channel KCNH8 (Q96L42). Pore-forming (alpha) subunit of a voltage-gated delayed rectifier potassium channel that mediates outward-rectifying potassium currents.
Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functional and structural standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, and cell volume. This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, subfamily H. This member is a pore-forming (alpha) subunit.

Voltage-gated delayed rectifier potassium channel KCNH8 — Q96L42 (reviewed: Q96L42)
Alternative names: ELK1, Ether-a-go-go-like potassium channel 3, Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily H member 8, Voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv12.1
All UniProt accessions (2): Q96L42, F8WCG6
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Pore-forming (alpha) subunit of a voltage-gated delayed rectifier potassium channel that mediates outward-rectifying potassium currents. Elicits a slowly activating, non-inactivating and slowly deactivation outwards potassium current at depolarizating voltages from -30 mV to +50mV. Shows no obvious change in the activation rate from different holding potentials. Activation is strongly dependent on the pH of the external solution.
Subunit / interactions. The potassium channel is probably composed of a homo- or heterotetrameric complex of pore-forming alpha subunits that can associate with modulating beta subunits.
Subcellular location. Membrane.
Tissue specificity. Primarily expressed in the nervous system.
Similarity. Belongs to the potassium channel family. H (Eag) (TC 1.A.1.20) subfamily. Kv12.1/KCNH8 sub-subfamily.
