Voltage-gated potassium channels (K<sub>v</sub>) in GtoPdb v.2021.3

چکیده
The 6TM family of K channels comprises the voltage-gated KV subfamilies, EAG subfamily (which includes hERG channels), Ca2+-activated Slo (actually with 7TM, termed BK) and SK subfamily. These possess a pore-forming α subunit that comprise tetramers identical subunits (homomeric) or different (heteromeric). Heteromeric can only be formed within subfamilies (e.g. Kv1.1 Kv1.2; Kv7.2 Kv7.3). pharmacology largely reflects composition functional channel.

متن کاملVoltage-gated potassium channels in cell proliferation.
It is commonly accepted that cells require K(+) channels to proliferate. The role(s) of K(+) channels in the process is, however, poorly understood. Cloning of K(+) channel genes opened the possibility to approach this problem in a way more independent from pharmacological tools. Recent work shows that several identified K(+) channels are important in both physiological and pathological cell pr...
متن کاملVoltage-gated potassium channels in larval CNS neurons of Drosophila.
The availability of genetic, molecular, and biophysical techniques makes Drosophila an ideal system for the study of ion channel function. We have used the patch-clamp technique to characterize voltage-gated K+ channels in cultured larval Drosophila CNS neurons. Whole-cell currents from different cells vary in current kinetics and magnitude. Most of the cells contain a transient A-type 4-AP-sen...
متن کاملVoltage-gated potassium ion channels in colon cancer.
Voltage-gated potassium channels (VGPCs) have been previously implicated in cellular proliferation. In this study, the expression of VGPCs was examined by immunohistochemistry in seventy-four human colonic carcinoma specimens. Immunostaining for the Kv1.3 type VGPC was absent in two normal human colon specimens. Kv1.3 staining in the 74 colon cancer specimens was low in 9% (7/74), moderate in 6...
