Abstract excerpt
Voltage-gated potassium ion (Kv) channel proteins respond to changes in membrane potential by changing the probability of K+ flux through an ion-selective pore. Kv channels from different paralogous and orthologous families have widely varying V50 values. The voltage-sensing transmembrane helices (S4) of different channels contain four to seven basic residues that are responsible for transducing changes in...
