PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • six putative membrane-spanning domains
  • an hydrophobic pore including the P domain with the K+ channel signature, flanked by TM domains 5 and 6, sensitive to changes in membrane potential
  • mono polymer heteromer , tetramer
    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Kv3.2
    homolog to Drosophila Shaw-related family
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • potassium channel family
  • c (shaw) subfamily
  • CATEGORY transport channel
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane,junction
    basic FUNCTION
  • mediating the voltage-dependent potassium ion permeability of excitable membranes
  • KCNC2, CACNA1G regulate thalamic relay neuron sensory transmission and each channel subtype controls a different stimulus-response curve property
