Regulation of KV channel voltage-dependent activation by transmembrane β subunits

Voltage-activated K+ (KV) channels are important for shaping action potentials and maintaining resting membrane potential in excitable cells. KV channels contain a central pore-gate domain (PGD) surrounded by four voltage-sensing domains (VSD). The VSDs will change conformation in response to altera...
