Species Reactivity Note: The antibody has been directly tested for reactivity in Western blots with rat and mouse tissue. Biological Significance: Voltage-gated K+ channels are important determinants of neuronal membrane excitability. Moreover, differences in K+ channel expression patterns and densities contribute to the variations in action potential waveforms and repetitive firing patterns evident in different neuronal cell types (Maletic-Savatic et al., 1995; Pongs, 1999; Blaine and Ribera, 1998; Burger and Ribera, 1996). The Kv3.1 potassium channel is expressed at high levels in neurons that characteristically fire rapid trains of action potentials (Gan et al., 1999).Particularly high levels of this channel are found in neurons of the auditory brainstem. These neurons appear to participate in neural circuits that determine the intensity and timing of auditory stimuli and use this information to determine the location of sounds in space (von Hehn et al., 2004).

ncbi summary :
voltage gated potassium channel; functions as a delayed rectifier K+ channel [RGD, Feb 2006]
uniprot summary :
Function: This protein mediates the voltage-dependent potassium ion permeability of excitable membranes. Assuming opened or closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane, the protein forms a potassium-selective channel through which potassium ions may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. Subunit structure: Heteromultimer with KCNG3, KCNG4 and KCNV2 . By similarity. Subcellular location: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Tissue specificity: Brain. Domain: The segment S4 is probably the voltage-sensor and is characterized by a series of positively charged amino acids at every third position.The tail may be important in modulation of channel activity and/or targeting of the channel to specific subcellular compartments. Sequence similarities: Belongs to the potassium channel family. C (Shaw) (TC 1.A.1.2) subfamily. Kv3.1/KCNC1 sub-subfamily. [View classification]
