Summary: Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functional and structural standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, and cell volume. This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, isk-related subfamily. This member is a small integral membrane subunit that assembles with the KCNH2 gene product, a pore-forming protein, to alter its function. This gene is expressed in heart and muscle and the gene mutations are associated with cardiac arrhythmia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

KCNE2 rs8134775 was associated with a decreased atrial fibrillation (AF) risk in the Chinese Han population in the allele model. Minor allele T of GJA5 rs35594137 was associated with a decreased AF risk, and the minor allele G of KCNJ2 rs8079702 was associated with an increased AF risk in the recessive models. Results suggest that KCNE2, KCNJ2, and GJA5 influence the development of AF in the Chinese Han population.

In vitro functional assays showed miR-584-5p depletion decreased HCC cell proliferation, cell migration, and cell invasion. Moreover, miR-584-5p functions by directly targeting KCNE2, and it in turn, mediates the effects of miR-584-5p on HCC cell behaviors.

On the basis of clinical phenotype, the high allelic frequencies of LQT6 mutations in the Exome Aggregation Consortium database, and absence of previous documentation of genotype-phenotype segregation, our findings suggest that many KCNE2 variants, and perhaps all, have been erroneously designated as LQTS-causative mutations. Instead, KCNE2 variants may confer proarrhythmic susceptibility when provoked by additional envir

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
