Kv1.1 Antibody / KCNA1

Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 1, also known as Kv1.1, is a shaker related voltage-gated potassium channel that in humans is encoded by the KCNA1 gene. It is mapped to 12p13.32. The protein functions as a potassium selective channel through which the potassium ion may pass through in consensus with the electrochemical gradient. The N-terminus of the channel is associated with beta subunits that can modify the inactivation properties of the channel as well as affect expression levels. The C-terminus of the channel is complexed to a PDZ domain protein that is responsible for channel targeting.
