{wiki=KCNF1}
KCNF1, or "Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily F member 1," is a gene that encodes a protein that forms a potassium ion channel in cell membranes. These channels play a crucial role in the electrical excitability of cells, including neurons and muscle cells, by controlling the flow of potassium ions (K+) across the cell membrane, which is essential for various physiological processes such as maintaining resting membrane potential, repolarization of action potentials, and overall cellular signaling.
