Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables voltage-gated monoatomic cation channel activity. Involved in several processes, including mating behavior, sex discrimination; proboscis extension reflex; and regulation of synaptic activity. Located in membrane. Part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adult antennal nerve; adult head; adult somatic muscle cell; mushroom body; and synaptic neuropil domain. Used to study epilepsy and episodic ataxia type 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 32; episodic ataxia type 1; familial atrial fibrillation; and pulmonary hypertension. Orthologous to several human genes including KCNA2 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 2) and KCNA3 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 3).
FB Description
Shaker (Sh) encodes the structural alpha subunit of a voltage-gated potassium channel. It plays a key role in maintaining electrical excitability in neurons and muscle cells, as well as regulating neurotransmitter release at the synapse.
