Background: | Voltage-gated potassium channel that mediates transmembrane potassium transport in excitable membranes. Forms tetrameric potassium-selective channels through which potassium ions pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient (PubMed:2347305, PubMed:14575698). The channel alternates between opened and closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane (PubMed:2347305, PubMed:14575698). Can form functional homotetrameric channels and heterotetrameric channels that contain variable proportions of KCNA1, KCNA2, KCNA4, KCNA6, and possibly other family members as well; channel properties depend on the type of α subunits that are part of the channel. Channel properties are modulated by cytoplasmic β subunits that regulate the subcellular location of the α subunits and promote rapid inactivation. Homotetrameric channels display rapid activation and slow inactivation (PubMed:2347305). |
Synonyms: | Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 6 (Voltage-gated potassium channel HBK2) (Voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv1.6), KCNA6 |
UniProt Protein Function: | Kv1.6: 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. Belongs to the potassium channel family. A (Shaker) (TC 1.A.1.2) subfamily. Kv1.6/KCNA6 sub-subfamily.Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; Membrane protein, multi-passChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 12p13Cellular Component: voltage-gated potassium channel complex; integral to plasma membrane; plasma membrane; integral to membraneMolecular Function: voltage-gated potassium channel activity; delayed rectifier potassium channel activityBiological Process: synaptic transmission; protein homooligomerization; potassium ion transport |

NCBI Summary: | Potassium channels represent the most complex class of voltage-gated ion channels from both functional and structural standpoints. Their diverse functions include regulating neurotransmitter release, heart rate, insulin secretion, neuronal excitability, epithelial electrolyte transport, smooth muscle contraction, and cell volume. Four sequence-related potassium channel genes - shaker, shaw, shab, and shal - have been identified in Drosophila, and each has been shown to have human homolog(s). This gene encodes a member of the potassium channel, voltage-gated, shaker-related subfamily. This member contains six membrane-spanning domains with a shaker-type repeat in the fourth segment. It belongs to the delayed rectifier class. The coding region of this gene is intronless, and the gene is clustered with genes KCNA1 and KCNA5 on chromosome 12. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
