Description

Potassium channels (KCN) are transmembrane channels specific for potassium. This ubiquitous family of membrane proteins are present in both excitable and non-excitable cells. They play critical roles in many processes such as signaling, neurotransmission, cardiac rhythm and electrolyte transport. (Adapted from PMID:11121510).
