KCNH4 is a gene that encodes a protein known as a potassium channel, specifically a member of the voltage-gated potassium channel family. This family of channels is crucial for the regulation of electrical excitability in various tissues, including the heart and the nervous system. The KCNH4 protein functions by allowing potassium ions to flow across cell membranes in response to voltage changes, which plays a vital role in repolarizing the membrane potential after an action potential.
