KCNE5, also known as potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E member 5, is a gene that encodes a protein belonging to the KCNE family of potassium channel regulatory subunits. These subunits are crucial for the proper functioning of potassium channels, which play essential roles in various physiological processes, including the generation and propagation of electrical signals in excitable cells such as neurons and cardiac myocytes.
