Function | Pore-forming (alpha) subunit of a voltage-gated delayed rectifier potassium channel that mediates outward-rectifying potassium currents which, on depolarization, reaches a steady-state level and do not inactivate. The kinetic is characterized by a slow activation time course and a small voltage dependence of the activation time constants, therefore, starts to open at more negative voltages. The activation kinetics depend on the prepulse potential and external divalent cation concentration. The time course of activation is biphasic with a fast and a slowly activating current component. With negative prepulses, the current activation is delayed and slowed down several fold, whereas more positive prepulses speed up activation, therefore the activation rate depends on holding potential. |
