🧬 Gene Info

Gene Symbol	KCNS1
Protein Type	Channel
Function	encodes a voltage-gated potassium channel subunit that plays important roles in neuronal excitability, pain signaling, and synaptic transmission.
GeneCards	KCNS1
Human Protein Atlas	KCNS1
Slow Activation Kinetics	Channels activate more slowly than typical delayed rectifiers
Depolarized Activation	Requires stronger depolarization for activation
Modulation Sensitivity	Enhanced responsiveness to intracellular signaling pathways
Brain	Highest expression in cortex, hippocampus, and thalamus
Spinal Cord	Dorsal horn neurons involved in pain processing
Sensory Ganglia	Dorsal root ganglion neurons
Peripheral Nervous System	Various neuronal populations
Action Potential Repolarization	Contributes to the delayed rectifier current
Firing Frequency	Modulates neuronal output and firing patterns
