name: voltage-gated potassium channel subunit KCNA5
def: "A shaker-related voltage-gated potassium channel alpha subunit that is a translation product of the human KCNA5 gene or a 1:1 ortholog thereof. The voltage-gated potassium channel Kv1.5 mediates the ultrarapid-activating potassium current (IKur) in heart, and also plays a critical role in the regulation of arterial tone."
