Abstract excerpt

There are at least five subfamilies of Shaker-like K+ channels. The diverse function of K+ channels are thought to be further modulated by hydrophilic beta subunits. Here we report that Kv beta 1 inactivates RCK4 and Shaker B K+ channels of the Kv1 subfamily, but not Shal2 of the Kv4 subfamily. T...
