Abstract excerpt
Kv3.3 potassium channels are highly expressed in cerebellar Purkinje neurons and contribute to the ability of these neurons to fire at high rates. In addition to their role in regulating excitability, Kv3.3 channels form a complex with several cytoplasmic proteins, including Hax-1, Arp2/3, Rac1, and TBK1. This stimulates the nucleation of actin filaments under the plasma membrane. Using biochemical and confocal...
