A-type voltage-gated potassium channel KCND3

UniProt Q9UK17 Organism Homo sapiens Gene KCND3

Also known as: KCND3

Function

Pore-forming (alpha) subunit of voltage-gated A-type potassium channels that mediates transmembrane potassium transport in excitable membranes, in brain and heart. In cardiomyocytes, may generate the transient outward potassium current I(To) (By similarity). In neurons, may conduct the transient subthreshold somatodendritic A-type potassium current (ISA) (By similarity). Kinetics properties are characterized by fast activation at subthreshold membrane potentials, rapid inactivation, and quick recovery from inactivation. Channel properties are modulated by interactions with regulatory subunits. Interaction with the regulatory subunits KCNIP1 or KCNIP2 modulates the channel gating kinetics namely channel activation and inactivation kinetics and rate of recovery from inactivation. Likewise, interaction with DPP6 modulates the channel gating kinetics namely channel activation and inactivation kinetics.
