Enables

This protein enables 4 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]
potassium channel activitymolecular functionEnables the facilitated diffusion of a potassium ion (by an energy-independent process) involving passage through a transmembrane aqueous pore or channel without evidence for a carrier-mediated mechanism. [GOC:BHF, GOC:mtg_transport, GOC:pr, ISBN:0815340729]
protein bindingmolecular functionBinding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators]
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 1 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]

Active In

This protein is active in 5 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
postsynaptic membranecellular componentA specialized area of membrane facing the presynaptic membrane on the tip of the nerve ending and separated from it by a minute cleft (the synaptic cleft). Neurotransmitters cross the synaptic cleft and transmit the signal to the postsynaptic membrane. [ISBN:0198506732]
dendrite membranecellular componentThe portion of the plasma membrane surrounding a dendrite. [GOC:mah]
presynaptic membranecellular componentA specialized area of membrane of the axon terminal that faces the plasma membrane of the neuron or muscle fiber with which the axon terminal establishes a synaptic junction; many synaptic junctions exhibit structural presynaptic characteristics, such as conical, electron-dense internal protrusions, that distinguish it from the remainder of the axon plasma membrane. [GOC:jl, ISBN:0815316194]
neuronal cell body membranecellular componentThe plasma membrane of a neuron cell body - excludes the plasma membrane of cell projections such as axons and dendrites. [GOC:jl]
axon terminuscellular componentTerminal inflated portion of the axon, containing the specialized apparatus necessary to release neurotransmitters. The axon terminus is considered to be the whole region of thickening and the terminal button is a specialized region of it. [GOC:dph, GOC:jl]

Part Of

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]
chemical synaptic transmissionbiological processThe vesicular release of classical neurotransmitter molecules from a presynapse, across a chemical synapse, the subsequent activation of neurotransmitter receptors at the postsynapse of a target cell (neuron, muscle, or secretory cell) and the effects of this activation on the postsynaptic membrane potential and ionic composition of the postsynaptic cytosol. This process encompasses both spontaneous and evoked release of neurotransmitter and all parts of synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Evoked transmission starts with the arrival of an action potential at the presynapse. [GOC:jl, MeSH:D009435]
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]
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]
potassium ion transmembrane transportbiological processA process in which a potassium ion is transported from one side of a membrane to the other. [GOC:mah]
