    motifs/domains
  • a N terminal cytoplasmic domain with PAS (PER-ARNT-SIM) dimerization domain and PAC (PAS-associated C-terminal) domain
  • six transmembrane domains the fourth being the voltage-sensor site
  • a pore forming domain (H5) between the fifth and sixth transmembrane domains
  • C-terminal region containing a cyclic-nucleotide-binding homology domain (CNBHD) and C-linker that couples the CNBHD to the pore
  • mono polymer homomer , heteromer , tetramer

    basic FUNCTION
  • pore forming (alpha) subunit of voltage-gated potassium channel
  • forms the ion channel responsible for the rapidly acting delayed rectifier potassium current, I(Kr), and its blockade is a significant contributor to prolongation of the QT interval (Yoshida 2006)
  • selectively involved in proliferation of distinct uterine cancer cells (Suzuki 2004)
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS facilitated diffusion transport
