Ancillary subunits associated with voltage-dependent K+ channels.

Abstract excerpt

Since the first discovery of Kvbeta-subunits more than 15 years ago, many more ancillary Kv channel subunits were characterized, for example, KChIPs, KCNEs, and BKbeta-subunits. The ancillary subunits are often integral parts of native Kv channels, which, therefore, are mostly multiprotein complexes composed of voltage-sensing and pore-forming Kvalpha-subunits and of ancillary or beta-subunits. Apparently, Kv...
