KCNE1 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human KCNE1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 21q22.12 and is approximately 66 kb in length. This allele, which encodes potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E member 1 protein, plays a role in mediating the slow deactivation of the delayed rectifying potassium channel. Mutation of the gene is associated with Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome 2 and long QT syndrome 5.
