Abstract excerpt
The localization of Shaker-type K(+) channels in specialized domains of myelinated central nervous system axons was studied during development of the optic nerve. In adult rats Kv1.1, Kv1.2, Kv1.6, and the cytoplasmic beta-subunit Kvbeta2 were colocalized in juxtaparanodal zones. During development, clustering of K(+) channels lagged behind that for nodal Na(+) channels by about 5 days. In contrast to the PNS,...
