{"symbol":"KCND1","synonyms":["KV4.1"],"name":"potassium channel, voltage gated Shal related subfamily D, member 1","description":"This gene encodes a multipass membrane protein that comprises the pore subunit of the voltage-gated A-type potassium channel, which functions in the repolarization of membrane action potentials. Activity of voltage-gated potassium channels is important in a number of physiological processes, among them the regulation of neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, and smooth muscle contraction.
