{"symbol":"HCN2","synonyms":["BCNG2","HAC-1","BCNG-2"],"name":"hyperpolarization activated cyclic nucleotide gated potassium channel 2","description":"The protein encoded by this gene is a hyperpolarization-activated cation channel involved in the generation of native pacemaker activity in the heart and in the brain. The encoded protein is activated by cAMP and can produce a fast, large current. Defects in this gene were noted as a possible cause of some forms of epilepsy.
