Cytoplasmic domains and voltage-dependent potassium channel gating

The basic architecture of the voltage-dependent K+ channels (Kv channels) corresponds to a transmembrane protein core in which the permeation pore, the voltage sensing components and the gating machinery (cytoplasmic facing gate and sensor-gate coupler) reside. Usually, large protein tails are attac...
