Rattus norvegicus (Rat)
Length
1163 amino acids
AlphaFoldDB
AF-O08962-F1-model_v4.pdb
Function
Pore-forming (alpha) subunit of voltage-gated inwardly rectifying potassium channel. Channel properties are modulated by cAMP and subunit assembly. Mediates the rapidly activating component of the delayed rectifying potassium current in heart (IKr) (By similarity)
