Predicted to enable delayed rectifier potassium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in potassium ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 26; intracranial hypertension; and retinal cone dystrophy 3B. Is an ortholog of human KCNF1 (potassium voltage-gated channel modifier subfamily F member 1).
The gene name kvs-2 was incorrectly assigned to WBGene00206383 in 2011 but was reassigned to this gene in the WS270 release of WormBase.
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
