Psychiatry related information on Kcnc4

 

High impact information on Kcnc4

  • MiRP2 forms potassium channels in skeletal muscle with Kv3.4 and is associated with periodic paralysis [2].
  • Kv3.3 K+ channels are believed to incorporate an NH2-terminal domain to produce an intermediate rate of inactivation relative to the fast inactivating K+ channels Kv3.4 and Kv1 [3].
  • Immunocytochemistry revealed the presence of Kv3.4 channels in delta-cells and TEA-resistant Kv4.3 channels in alpha-cells [4].
  • The corresponding mouse gene, Kcnc4, consists of five exons spanning a region of 20 kb [5].
 

Associations of Kcnc4 with chemical compounds

  • Light- and electron-microscopic immunohistochemistry revealed Kv3.3 and Kv3.4 subunits within all motor nerve terminals of muscles examined [transversus abdominus, lumbrical and flexor digitorum brevis (FDB)] [6].
