|
| Function |
Pore-forming (alpha) subunit of voltage-gated potassium channel. Elicits a slowly activating, outward rectifying current. Channel properties may be modulated by cAMP and subunit assembly.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Primarily expressed in the nervous system. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12890647}.
