Abstract excerpt
Potassium channels are the targets of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), which play important roles in the etiology of epilepsy. KCNA1 and KCNA2 encode mammalian Kv1.1 and Kv1.2 channels, which are essential roles in the initiation and shaping of action potentials. KCNV2 encodes Kv8.2, which is a regional overlap with Kv2 subunits as functional heterotetramers. In our study, we aim to investigate whether variants of...
