Kv1.3 Polyclonal Antibody

caution:It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-53 is the initiator.,domain:The N-terminus may be important in determining the rate of inactivation of the channel while the tail may play a role in modulation of channel activity and/or targeting of the channel to specific subcellular compartments.,domain:The segment S4 is probably the voltage-sensor and is characterized by a series of positively charged amino acids at every third position.,function:Mediates the voltage-dependent potassium ion permeability of excitable membranes. Assuming opened or closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane, the protein forms a potassium-selective channel through which potassium ions may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient.,sequence caution:Translation N-terminally extended.,similarity:Belongs to the potassium channel family. A (Shaker) subfamily.,subunit:Heterotetramer of potassium channel proteins. Binds PDZ domains of DLG1, DLG2 and DLG4.,
