Background
The human KCNA1 gene encodes the pore-forming subunit of Kv1.1, a voltage-gated potassium channel. Mutations in KCNA1 cause several congenital disorders including episodic ataxia type 1, neuromyotonia, and autosomal dominant hypomagnesia. Kv1.1 channels expressed in neurons are therapeutic targets in multiple sclerosis, stroke and seizure.
