HCN1


Potassium/sodium hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HCN1 gene.

Function

of the HCN gene family, such as HCN1, contribute to spontaneous rhythmic activity in both heart and brain.

Tissue distribution

HCN1 channel expression is found in the sinoatrial node, the neocortex, hippocampus, cerebellar cortex, dorsal root ganglion, trigeminal ganglion and brainstem.

Interactions

HCN1 has been shown to interact with HCN2.

Epilepsy

De novo mutations in HCN1 cause epilepsy.
