KV4.1 rabbit polyclonal, anti-human, mouse

Backgroud: This gene encodes a multipass membrane protein that comprises the pore subunit of the voltage-gated A-type potassium channel, which functions in the repolarization of membrane action potentials. Activity of voltage-gated potassium channels is important in a number of physiological processes, among them the regulation of neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, and smooth muscle contraction. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013],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:Pore-forming (alpha) subunit of voltage-gated rapidly inactivating A-type potassium channels. May contribute to I(To) current in heart and I(Sa) current in neurons. Channel properties are modulated by interactions with other alpha subunits and with regulatory subunits.,similarity:Belongs to the potassium channel family. D (Shal) subfamily.,subunit:Homotetramer or heterotetramer with KCND2 and/or KCND3. Associates with the regulatory subunits KCNIP1, KCNIP2, KCNIP3 and KCNIP4 (By similarity). Interacts with DPP10.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed. Highly expressed in brain, in particular in cerebellum and thalamus; detected at lower levels in the other parts of the brain.,
