General description

Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 1, better known as Potassium Channel Kv1.1, or Kcna1 belongs to the Shaker potassium channel group responsible for mediating ion permeability of excitable membranes. Conformational changes as a result of voltage changes across the cell membrane varies the permeability of this multi-pass transmembrane channel to potassium. Mutations of the Shaker potassium channel gene in Drosophila and the KCNA1 gene for its mammalian orthologue, Kv1.1, reduce the probability of action potential failure thereby causing hyperexcitability near axon branch points and nerve terminals, thereby leading to uncontrolled movements and recapitulating the episodic ataxia-1 (EA1) symptoms in human patients. Further, the axonal Kv1 channel activity may regulate synaptic transmission by modulating the action potential waveform, duration, firing pattern, and spread of depolarization into axonal branches.

Target description

~65 kDa observed. The calculated molecular weight of this protein is 56 kDa However, it can run higher due to glycosylation (Deal, K. K., et al. (1994). J Neurosci. 14(3 Pt 2):1666-1676.).
