Abstract excerpt
The functional channel unit of K(+) channels with two pore regions in tandem is thought to be a homodimer and it has been suggested that this dimeric structure occurs by interaction of an extracellular domain, the self-interacting domain. Interaction and functional assembly have been studied in some detail for KCNK1. It is proposed that a disulphide bond between highly conserved C69 residues of the...
