KCNN3
KCNN3 encodes SK3, a small-conductance calcium-activated potassium channel expressed in cardiac atrial tissue and neurons, where calcium influx opens the channel to shape action-potential repolarization and refractory period. Common variants at the KCNN3 locus, including rs13376333, are established GWAS hits for atrial fibrillation risk, likely by altering atrial repolarization currents and electrical stability.
