Gene Information

General description

Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 1, better known as Potassium Channel Kv1.1, or Kcna1 belongs to the Shaker potassium channel group responsible for mediating ion permeability of excitable membranes. Conformational changes as a result of voltage changes across the cell membrane varies the permeability of this multi-pass transmembrane channel to potassium. Mutations of the Shaker potassium channel gene in Drosophila and the KCNA1 gene for its mammalian orthologue, Kv1.1, reduce the probability of action potential failure thereby causing hyperexcitability near axon branch points and nerve terminals, thereby leading to uncontrolled movements and recapitulating the episodic ataxia-1 (EA1) symptoms in human patients. Further, the axonal Kv1 channel activity may regulate synaptic transmission by modulating the action potential waveform, duration, firing pattern, and spread of depolarization into axonal branches.

Specificity

Other homologies: Human (94% sequence homology).

Immunogen

Linear peptide corresponding to 18 amino acids from the extracellular domain of rat Potassium Channel Kv1.1.

Application

Mechanisms of ion channel clustering by cytoplasmic membrane-associated guanylate kinases such as postsynaptic density 95 (PSD-95) and synapse-associated protein 97 (SAP97) are poorly understood. Here, we investigated the interaction of PSD-95 and SAP97 with voltage-gated or Kv K(+) channels. Using
