KvLQT1

KvLQT1, also known as KCNQ1, is a potassium ion channel encoded by the KCNQ1 gene in humans. It is part of the voltage-gated potassium channel family and plays a crucial role in cardiac and various other physiological processes. The KvLQT1 channel is integral to the repolarization phase of the cardiac action potential, meaning it helps return the heart muscle cells to their resting state after contraction.
