Length
655 amino acids
AlphaFoldDB
AF-P08510-F1-model_v4.pdb
Function
Voltage-gated potassium channel that mediates transmembrane potassium transport in excitable membranes. The channel alternates between opened and closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane. Forms rapidly inactivating tetrameric potassium-selective channels through which potassium ions pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient and may contribute to A-type currents. Plays a role in the regulation of sleep need or efficiency. Plays a role in sexual behavior; where it is important for male sex discrimination

Location
Expressed in mushroom body (at protein level); this overlaps with expression of qvr/quiver/sleepless and nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChRs) proteins also involved in sleep regulation. Expressed in the adult brain. Enriched in the mushroom body; anterior optic tubercle; superior protocerebrum; antennal nerve and visual projection neuron fibers projecting into the lobula plate of the optic lobe.
