gene: shw-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable delayed rectifier potassium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in potassium ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in somatodendritic compartment and synapse. Predicted to be part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; brain disease (multiple); and glioblastoma. Is an ortholog of human KCNC1 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily C member 1); KCNC2 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily C member 2); and KCNC4 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily C member 4).
