Gene - 7 Feb 2001
Vullhorst D, Jockusch H, Bartsch J W
Abstract excerpt
K(V)3.4 belongs to the shaw subfamily of shaker-type potassium channels. It conducts fast inactivating, high threshold currents in the central nervous system and in fast-twitch skeletal muscle fibers. The corresponding mouse gene, Kcnc4, consists of five exons spanning a region of 20 kb. Approximately 700 bp of regulatory sequence were delineated. It is GC-rich and lacks typical TATA and CAAT motifs. Instead,...
