KCNA2 (Potassium Voltage-Gated Channel Subfamily A Member 2) is a gene that encodes a protein known as a voltage-gated potassium channel. These channels play a crucial role in maintaining the electrical excitability of cells, particularly in neurons and muscle cells. The KCNA2 protein is involved in repolarizing the membrane potential after an action potential, helping to regulate the flow of potassium ions across the cell membrane.
