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]
A-type (transient outward) potassium channel activitymolecular functionEnables the transmembrane transfer of a potassium ion by an outwardly-rectifying voltage-gated channel that produces a transient outward current upon a step change in membrane potential. [GOC:mah, PMID:5575340]

This protein is located in 10 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]
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]
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]

plasma membrane raftcellular componentA membrane raft that is part of the plasma membrane. [GOC:jl]
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]
anchoring junctioncellular componentA cell junction that mechanically attaches a cell (and its cytoskeleton) to neighboring cells or to the extracellular matrix. [ISBN:0815332181]
glutamatergic synapsecellular componentA synapse that uses glutamate as a neurotransmitter. [GOC:dos]
GABA-ergic synapsecellular componentA synapse that uses GABA as a neurotransmitter. These synapses are typically inhibitory. [GOC:dos]
postsynaptic specialization membranecellular componentThe membrane component of the postsynaptic specialization. This is the region of the postsynaptic membrane in which the population of neurotransmitter receptors involved in synaptic transmission are concentrated. [GOC:dos]

Involved In

This protein is involved in 12 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
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]
muscle contractionbiological processA process in which force is generated within muscle tissue, resulting in a change in muscle geometry. Force generation involves a chemo-mechanical energy conversion step that is carried out by the actin/myosin complex activity, which generates force through ATP hydrolysis. [GOC:ef, GOC:mtg_muscle, ISBN:0198506732]
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]
regulation of heart contractionbiological processAny process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of heart contraction. Heart contraction is the process in which the heart decreases in volume in a characteristic way to propel blood through the body. [GOC:dph, GOC:go_curators, GOC:tb]
neuronal action potentialbiological processAn action potential that occurs in a neuron. [GOC:dph, GOC:isa_complete, GOC:tb]
sensory perception of painbiological processThe series of events required for an organism to receive a painful stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. Pain is medically defined as the physical sensation of discomfort or distress caused by injury or illness, so can hence be described as a harmful stimulus which signals current (or impending) tissue damage. Pain may come from extremes of temperature, mechanical damage, electricity or from noxious chemical substances. This is a neurological process. [GOC:curators]
locomotor rhythmbiological processThe rhythm of the locomotor activity of an organism during its 24 hour activity cycle. [GOC:go_curators]
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]
regulation of postsynaptic membrane potentialbiological processAny process that modulates the potential difference across a post-synaptic membrane. [GOC:dph, GOC:ef]
cellular response to hypoxiabiological processAny process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus indicating lowered oxygen tension. Hypoxia, defined as a decline in O2 levels below normoxic levels of 20.8 - 20.95%, results in metabolic adaptation at both the cellular and organismal level. [GOC:mah]
potassium ion transmembrane transportbiological processA process in which a potassium ion is transported from one side of a membrane to the other. [GOC:mah]
membrane repolarizationbiological processThe process in which ions are transported across a membrane such that the membrane potential changes in the repolarizing direction, toward the steady state potential. For example, the repolarization during an action potential is from a positive membrane potential towards a negative resting potential. [GOC:BHF, GOC:mtg_cardiac_conduct_nov11]
