Enables

This protein enables 5 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
voltage-gated potassium channel activitymolecular functionEnables the transmembrane transfer of a potassium ion by a voltage-gated channel. A voltage-gated channel is a channel whose open state is dependent on the voltage across the membrane in which it is embedded. [GOC:mtg_transport, ISBN:0815340729]
protein bindingmolecular functionBinding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators]
potassium ion bindingmolecular functionBinding to a potassium ion (K+). [GOC:mah]
voltage-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of presynaptic membrane potentialmolecular functionVoltage-gated ion channel activity, occurring in the presynaptic membrane, involved in regulation of presynaptic membrane potential. This is a key step in synaptic transmission, following the arrival of an action potential at the synapse. [GOC:dos]
delayed rectifier potassium channel activitymolecular functionEnables the transmembrane transfer of a potassium ion by a delayed rectifying voltage-gated channel. A delayed rectifying current-voltage relation is one where channel activation kinetics are time-dependent, and inactivation is slow. [GOC:mah, PMID:11343411, PMID:2462513]

Located In

This protein is located in 4 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
plasma membranecellular componentThe membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. [ISBN:0716731363]
membranecellular componentA lipid bilayer along with all the proteins and protein complexes embedded in it and attached to it. [GOC:dos, GOC:mah, ISBN:0815316194]
axoncellular componentThe long process of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses, usually away from the cell body to the terminals and varicosities, which are sites of storage and release of neurotransmitter. [GOC:nln, ISBN:0198506732]
axon initial segmentcellular componentPortion of the axon proximal to the neuronal cell body, at the level of the axon hillock. The action potentials that propagate along the axon are generated at the level of this initial segment. [GOC:nln, GOC:sl, PMID:1754851, PMID:21551097]

Active In

This protein is active in 3 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
dendritic spinecellular componentA small, membranous protrusion from a dendrite that forms a postsynaptic compartment, typically receiving input from a single presynapse. They function as partially isolated biochemical and an electrical compartments. Spine morphology is variable:they can be thin, stubby, mushroom, or branched, with a continuum of intermediate morphologies. They typically terminate in a bulb shape, linked to the dendritic shaft by a restriction. Spine remodeling is though to be involved in synaptic plasticity. [GOC:nln]
axoncellular componentThe long process of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses, usually away from the cell body to the terminals and varicosities, which are sites of storage and release of neurotransmitter. [GOC:nln, ISBN:0198506732]
membranecellular componentA lipid bilayer along with all the proteins and protein complexes embedded in it and attached to it. [GOC:dos, GOC:mah, ISBN:0815316194]

This protein is part of 1 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
voltage-gated potassium channel complexcellular componentA protein complex that forms a transmembrane channel through which potassium ions may cross a cell membrane in response to changes in membrane potential. [GOC:mah]

Involved In

This protein is involved in 5 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
potassium ion transportbiological processThe directed movement of potassium ions (K+) into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. [GOC:ai]
protein homooligomerizationbiological processThe process of creating protein oligomers, compounds composed of a small number, usually between three and ten, of identical component monomers. Oligomers may be formed by the polymerization of a number of monomers or the depolymerization of a large protein polymer. [GOC:ai]
potassium ion transmembrane transportbiological processA process in which a potassium ion is transported from one side of a membrane to the other. [GOC:mah]
regulation of presynaptic membrane potentialbiological processAny process that modulates the potential difference across a presynaptic membrane. [GOC:dph, GOC:ef]
action potentialbiological processA process in which membrane potential cycles through a depolarizing spike, triggered in response to depolarization above some threshold, followed by repolarization. This cycle is driven by the flow of ions through various voltage gated channels with different thresholds and ion specificities. [GOC:dph, GOC:go_curators, GOC:tb, ISBN:978-0-07-139011-8]
