Potassium Channel Protein Subunit
- Molecular classification
- Ion Channel, Potassium Channel, Voltage-gated potassium channel (Kv), Inwardly rectifying potassium channel (Kir), Two-pore domain potassium channel (K2P/KCNK), Calcium-activated potassium channel
01
Overview
A potassium channel protein subunit is a membrane-spanning protein that assembles with other subunits to form a functional potassium (K⁺) channel. These channels are integral membrane proteins responsible for the selective passage of K⁺ ions across biological membranes, playing critical roles in regulating cell excitability, maintaining resting membrane potential, controlling cell volume, and mediating secretion of neurotransmitters and hormones. They are key players both biologically and therapeutically.
