Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily C member 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KCNC2 gene.[5][5][6] The protein encoded by this gene is a voltage-gated potassium channel subunit (Kv3.2).[7]

Expression pattern

K_v3.1 and K_v3.2 channels are prominently expressed in neurons that fire at high frequency. K_v3.2 channels are prominently expressed in brain (fast-spiking GABAergic interneurons of the neocortex, hippocampus, and caudate nucleus; terminal fields of thalamocortical projections), and in retinal ganglion cells.[8][9][7]

Physiological role

K_v3.1/K_v3.2 conductance is necessary and kinetically optimized for high-frequency action potential generation.[9][10] Sometimes in heteromeric complexes with K_v3.1; important for the high-frequency firing of fast spiking GABAergic interneurons and retinal ganglion cells; and GABA release via regulation of action potential duration in presynaptic terminals.[7][8]

Pharmacological properties

K_v3.2 currents in heterologous systems are highly sensitive to external tetraethylammonium (TEA) or 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) (IC₅₀ values are 0.1 mM for both of the drugs).[7][9] This can be useful in identifying native channels.[9]

Transcript variants

There are four transcript variants of K_v3.2 gene: K_v3.2a, K_v3.2b, K_v3.2c, K_v3.2d. K_v3.2 isoforms differ only in their C-terminal sequence.[11]
