GJB6 Genegap junction protein, beta 6, 30kDa Gap junctions allow the transport of ions and metabolites between the cytoplasm of adjacent cells.

KCNQ3 Genepotassium channel, voltage gated KQT-like subfamily Q, member 3 This gene encodes a protein that functions in the regulation of neuronal excitability. The encoded protein forms an M-channel by associating with the products of the related KCNQ2 or KCNQ5 genes, which both encode integral membrane proteins. M-channel currents are inhibited by M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors and are activated by retigabine, a novel anti-convulsant drug. Defects in this gene are a cause of benign familial neonatal convulsions type 2 (BFNC2), also known as epilepsy, benign neonatal type 2 (EBN2). Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014] |
KCNQ1 Genepotassium channel, voltage gated KQT-like subfamily Q, member 1 This gene encodes a voltage-gated potassium channel required for repolarization phase of the cardiac action potential. This protein can form heteromultimers with two other potassium channel proteins, KCNE1 and KCNE3. Mutations in this gene are associated with hereditary long QT syndrome 1 (also known as Romano-Ward syndrome), Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome, and familial atrial fibrillation. This gene exhibits tissue-specific imprinting, with preferential expression from the maternal allele in some tissues, and biallelic expression in others. This gene is located in a region of chromosome 11 amongst other imprinted genes that are associated with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS), and itself has been shown to be disrupted by chromosomal rearrangements in patients with BWS. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011] |
TRPC1 Genetransient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily C, member 1 The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane protein that can form a non-selective channel permeable to calcium and other cations. The encoded protein appears to be induced to form channels by a receptor tyrosine kinase-activated phosphatidylinositol second messenger system and also by depletion of intracellular calcium stores. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011] |
TRPC7 Genetransient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily C, member 7 Predicted to enable inositol 1,4,5 trisphosphate binding activity and store-operated calcium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in calcium ion transmembrane transport; regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration; and single fertilization. Predicted to be located in membrane; nuclear envelope; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of cation channel complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Implicated in lung cancer. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025] |
TRPC5 Genetransient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily C, member 5 This gene belongs to the transient receptor family. It encodes one of the seven mammalian TRPC (transient receptor potential channel) proteins. The encoded protein is a multi-pass membrane protein and is thought to form a receptor-activated non-selective calcium permeant cation channel. The protein is active alone or as a heteromultimeric assembly with TRPC1, TRPC3, and TRPC4. It also interacts with multiple proteins including calmodulin, CABP1, enkurin, Na(+)-H+ exchange regulatory factor (NHERF ), interferon-induced GTP-binding protein (MX1), ring finger protein 24 (RNF24), and SEC14 domain and spectrin repeat-containing protein 1 (SESTD1).
