{"symbol":"KCNC1","synonyms":["EPM7","KV3.1","NGK2","KV4"],"name":"potassium channel, voltage gated Shaw related subfamily C, member 1","description":"This gene encodes a member of a family of integral membrane proteins that mediate the voltage-dependent potassium ion permeability of excitable membranes. Alternative splicing is thought to result in two transcript variants encoding isoforms that differ at their C-termini. These isoforms have had conflicting names in the literature: the longer isoform has been called both `b` and `alpha`, while the shorter isoform has been called both `a` and `beta` (PMIDs 1432046, 12091563).
