HBK1, HUKI, EA1, MK1, AEMK, MBK1, RBK1, KCNA1, potassium channel Kv1.1, potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 1,
This gene encodes a voltage-gated delayed potassium channel that is phylogenetically related to the Drosophila Shaker channel. The encoded protein has six putative transmembrane segments (S1-S6), and the loop between S5 and S6 forms the pore and contains the conserved selectivity filter motif (GYGD). The functional channel is a homotetramer.
