    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

    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
  • the tail may be important in modulation of channel activity and/or targeting of the channel to specific subcellular compartments
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Kv3.1
    homolog to Drosophila Shaw-related family
    Homologene
    FAMILY potassium channel family, c (shaw) subfamily
    CATEGORY transport channel
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    basic FUNCTION
  • mediating the voltage-dependent potassium ion permeability of excitable membranes
  • in association with OSP/claudin-11, plays a significant role in Oligodendrocyte progenitor cell proliferation and migration and myelination of axons
  • KCNIP3 and KCNC1 channels are expressed and may play a significant role in Müller cell function in the retina
  • stimulate adult neural precursor cell proliferation and neuronal differentiation
  • encodes the Kv3.1 potassium ion channel responsible for the rapid repolarization of the membrane potential following action potential firing in fast spiking GABAergic interneurons (FSI), thereby enabling high firing frequency
