gene: kvs-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables voltage-gated potassium channel activity. Involved in several processes, including forward locomotion; hyperosmotic response; and mechanosensory behavior. Part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Expressed in PDA; amphid neurons; anal depressor muscle; sperm; and ventral cord neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 26. Is an ortholog of human KCNF1 (potassium voltage-gated channel modifier subfamily F member 1).
