KCNA6

Gene
Kcna6
Protein
Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 6
Organism
Rattus norvegicus
Length
530 amino acids
Function
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. The channel alternates between opened and closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane. Can form functional homotetrameric channels and heterotetrameric channels that contain variable proportions of KCNA1, KCNA2, KCNA4, KNCA5, KCNA6, and possibly other family members as well; channel properties depend on the type of alpha subunits that are part of the channel (PubMed:1993474, PubMed:15618540). Channel properties are modulated by cytoplasmic beta subunits that regulate the subcellular location of the alpha subunits and promote rapid inactivation (Probable). Homotetrameric channels display rapid activation and slow inactivation (PubMed:1993474).
Similarity
Belongs to the potassium channel family. A (Shaker) (TC 1.A.1.2) subfamily. Kv1.6/KCNA6 sub-subfamily.
