KCNA6, or Potassium Voltage-Gated Channel Subfamily A Member 6, is a gene that encodes a protein that is part of the voltage-gated potassium channels. These channels play a crucial role in generating and regulating the electrical signals in neurons and muscle cells. Specifically, KCNA6 is associated with the rapid repolarization phase of action potentials, which is essential for proper nerve impulse transmission and muscle contraction.
