KCNN2
In vertebrate neurons, action potentials are followed by an afterhyperpolarization (AHP) that may last for many seconds and may have significant effects on the neuron's firing pattern. Each AHP component has its own unique kinetics and is controlled by a unique calcium-activated potassium channel. This gene's protein contributes to the slow portion of synaptic AHP and is hypothesized to control neuronal excitability. The protein is activated prior to membrane hyperpolarization. Together with three other calmodulin-binding subunits, the encoded protein forms an integral membrane protein that functions as a voltage-independent calcium-activated channel. The potassium channel gene KCNN family includes this gene.
