Abstract excerpt
Voltage-gated potassium channels, Kv3.1, Kv3.2, Kv3.3, and Kv3.4, facilitate rapid repolarization and shape action potentials, which are crucial to maintaining high-frequency firing. Little is known about the expression and function of Kv3 channels in skeletal muscle. We show that these channels are expressed in type IIa/IIx fibers, and their transcript levels progressively increase from postnatal age to...
