Kcnd3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable A-type (transient outward) potassium channel activity and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Predicted to contribute to voltage-gated potassium channel activity involved in ventricular cardiac muscle cell action potential repolarization. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to BMP stimulus; potassium ion transmembrane transport; and regulation of heart rate by cardiac conduction. Located in membrane. Part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse and postsynaptic specialization membrane. Is expressed in heart and heart ventricle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Brugada syndrome 9 and spinocerebellar ataxia type 19/22. Orthologous to human KCND3 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily D member 3).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Kcnd3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
