KCNC1

This gene encodes a member of a family of integral membrane proteins that mediate the voltage-dependent potassium ion permeability of excitable membranes. Alternative splicing is thought to result in two transcript variants encoding isoforms that differ at their C-termini. These isoforms have had conflicting names in the literature: the longer isoform has been called both ""b"" and ""alpha"", while the shorter isoform has been called both ""a"" and ""beta"" (PMIDs 1432046, 12091563).
