KCNC1 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human KCNC1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 11p15.1 and is approximately 122 kb in length. This allele, which encodes potassium voltage-gated potassium channel KCNC1 protein, plays a role in potassium transport that allows neurons to repolarize in response to high frequency stimuli. A point mutation in the gene is associated with progressive myoclonic epilepsy 7.
