Kcnd2 - potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily D member 2

Enables A-type (transient outward) potassium channel activity and voltage-gated ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to hypoxia; cellular response to mechanical stimulus; and potassium ion transmembrane transport. Located in several cellular components, including T-tubule; neuronal cell body membrane; and perinuclear endoplasmic reticulum. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is integral component of postsynaptic membrane. Orthologous to human KCND2 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily D member 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
