KCNC3 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human KCNC3 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 19q13.33 and is approximately 22 kb in length. This allele, which encodes voltage-gated potassium channel KCNC3 protein, plays a role in potassium transport and the rapid repolarization of fast-firing brain neurons. Mutations in the gene are associated with spinocerebellar ataxia 13.
