Enables the transmembrane transfer of a potassium ion by a voltage-gated channel through the plasma membrane of a bundle of His cell contributing to the repolarization phase of an action potential. A voltage-gated channel is a channel whose open state is dependent on the voltage across the membrane in which it is embedded. [GOC:BHF, GOC:mtg_cardiac_conduct_nov11]
Voltage-gated potassium channels (Kv channels) play a critical role in repolarizing the action potential of His bundle cells, which are specialized cardiac muscle cells that conduct electrical impulses from the atria to the ventricles. During the depolarization phase of the action potential, sodium channels open, allowing an influx of sodium ions and a rapid rise in membrane potential. To return the membrane potential to its resting state, Kv channels must open and allow potassium ions to flow out of the cell. This efflux of potassium ions counteracts the inward sodium current, causing the membrane potential to rapidly decrease and return to its resting state. The specific Kv channel subtypes involved in His bundle cell action potential repolarization are Kv1.5 and Kv4.3. Kv1.5 is a delayed rectifier potassium channel that contributes to the repolarization phase of the action potential, while Kv4.3 is a transient outward potassium channel that plays a role in the early repolarization phase. The opening and closing of these Kv channels is tightly regulated by voltage changes across the cell membrane, ensuring that the action potential is rapidly repolarized and the heart can beat rhythmically. The proper functioning of these channels is crucial for normal heart rhythm and any dysfunction can lead to arrhythmias.'
