KCNA1 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human KCNA1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 12p13.32 and is approximately 8 kb in length. This allele, which encodes potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 1 protein, is involved in membrane excitation via potassium ion transport in the kidney and central nervous system. Mutations in the gene are associated with episodic ataxia/myokymia syndrome.
