This protein enables 2 target(s):

Target	Category	Definition
delayed rectifier potassium channel activity	molecular function	Enables 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]
potassium channel activity	molecular function	Enables 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.

Target	Category	Definition
plasma membrane	cellular component	The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. [ISBN:0716731363]

This protein is active in 1 target(s):

Target	Category	Definition
membrane	cellular component	A 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):

Target	Category	Definition
voltage-gated potassium channel complex	cellular component	A 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]

This protein is involved in 5 target(s):

Target	Category	Definition
potassium ion transport	biological process	The 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 homooligomerization	biological process	The 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 transport	biological process	A process in which a potassium ion is transported from one side of a membrane to the other. [GOC:mah]
regulation of delayed rectifier potassium channel activity	biological process	Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of delayed rectifier potassium channel activity. [GOC:BHF, GOC:rl, GOC:TermGenie, PMID:11299204]
action potential	biological process	A 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]
