Shaker Superfamily of Potassium Channels

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: Voltage-gated potassium channels whose primary subunits contain six transmembrane segments and form tetramers to create a pore with a voltage sensor. They are related to their founding member, shaker protein, Drosophila.     
Examples Kv1.1 Potassium Channel; Kv1.2 Potassium Channel; Kv1.3 Potassium Channel; Kv1.4 Potassium Channel; Kv1.5 Potassium Channel; Kv1.6 Potassium Channel; Shab Potassium Channels; Shal Potassium Channels; Shaw Potassium Channels 		Other names Shaker Potassium Channels; Kv1 Potassium Channels
