Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables A-type (transient outward) potassium channel activity and voltage-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Involved in several processes, including locomotor rhythm; neuronal action potential; and potassium ion transmembrane transport. Located in dendritic spine; membrane; and neuronal cell body. Part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynaptic specialization membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including heart; hindlimb digit; metanephros; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human KCND2 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily D member 2).
