Protein channels are important to facilitate the transport of ions and other larger molecules across the plasma membrane.   Large molecules cannot just diffuse thorough the â¦ membrane. In addition, polar molecules cannot diffuse through the membrane since it would be energetically unfavorable for them to negotiate the hydrophobic interior of the plasma membrane. Therefore, protein channels are essential in membrane transport.
The specific function of a potassium channel depends on its protein components and its location in the body. The KCNE2 protein regulates several ion channels, including a channel made up of proteins produced by the KCNH2 gene.Channels made with the KCNH2 protein are present in heart (cardiac) muscle, where they transport potassium ions out of cells.he KCNE2 gene belongs to a family of genes called KCN (potassium channels). A gene family is a group of genes that share important characteristics.
