name: voltage-gated potassium channel subunit KCNA2
def: "A shaker-related voltage-gated potassium channel alpha subunit that is a translation product of the human KCNA2 gene or a 1:1 ortholog thereof. The Kv1.2 channel is involved in maintaining membrane potential, modulating electrical excitability in neurons and muscle. It can coassemble with other Kv1 subunits." [PMID:16382104]
