Effects of Kv1.1 channel glycosylation on C-type inactivation and simulated action potentials.

Abstract excerpt

Kv1.1 channels are brain glycoproteins that play an important role in repolarization of action potentials. In previous work, we showed that lack of N-glycosylation, particularly lack of sialylation, of Kv1.1 affected its macroscopic gating properties and slowed activation and C-type inactivation kinetics and produced a depolarized shift in the steady-state activation curve. In our current study, we used single...
