Potassium Voltage-Gated Channel (Kv channel)

Target
Kv channel
Molecular classification
Ion channel, Voltage-gated ion channel
01

Overview

Potassium voltage-gated channels (Kv channels) are a family of transmembrane proteins that selectively conduct potassium ions (K⁺) across cell membranes in response to changes in membrane potential. They play a critical role in generating and propagating action potentials, regulating neuronal excitability, and maintaining resting membrane potential.
