basic FUNCTION
| involved in calcium-activated potassium ion transport |
|
KCNT2, KCNT1 may contribute to the resting potentials of cells and control their basal level of excitability ![](pubmed.jpg) |
|
regulate the accuracy of timing of auditory neurons ![](pubmed.jpg) |
|
may play an important role in pathological conditions during which there is an increase in the intracellular concentrations of both acid and Na(+), such as in ischemia/hypoxia ![](pubmed.jpg) |
|
encodes a Na(+)-activated K(+) channel and is expressed in many different types of neurons ![](pubmed.jpg) |
|
regulates the rate of bursting and enhances the accuracy with which action potentials lock to incoming stimuli |
|
in addition to regulating ion flux, KCNT1 has a non-conducting function ![](pubmed.jpg) |
|
KCNT2, KCNT1 control basal excitability and are involved in cell volume regulation ![](pubmed.jpg) |
