Looking at Synaptic Specificity from a Different Angle.

abstract：:Voltage-activated potassium (Kv) channels from mammalian brain are hetero-oligomers containing alpha and beta subunits. Coexpression of Kv1 alpha and Kv beta 1 subunits confers rapid A-type inactivation on noninactivating potassium channels (delayed rectifiers) in expression systems in vitro. We have delineated a Kv1....
