Abstract:Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels sense voltage and facilitate transmembrane flow of K+ to control the electrical excitability of cells. The Kv2.1 channel subtype is abundant in most brain neurons and its conductance is critical for homeostatic regulation of neuronal excitability. Many forms of regulation modulate Kv2.1 conductance, yet the biophysical mechanisms through which the conductance is modulated are unknown. Here, we investigate the mechanism by which the neuronal adhesion protein AMIGO1 modulate… Show more
