Modulation of Closed-State Inactivation in Kv2.1/Kv6.4 Heterotetramers as Mechanism for 4-AP Induced Potentiation.

The voltage-gated K+ (Kv) channel subunits Kv2.1 and Kv2.2 are expressed in almost every tissue. The diversity of Kv2 current is increased by interacting with the electrically silent Kv (KvS) subunits Kv5-Kv6 and Kv8-Kv9, into functional heterotetrameric Kv2/KvS channels. These Kv2/KvS channels poss...
