Protein Details: voltage-gated potassium channel KAT2
Protein ID
ICDB_Pro_0918
Protein Name
voltage-gated potassium channel KAT2
Gene Name
KAT2; At4g18290; T9A21.140
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana (Mouse-ear cress)
Length
697 amino acids
AlphaFoldDB
AF-Q38849-F1-model_v4.pdb
Function
Highly selective inward-rectifying potassium channel. This voltage-dependent channel could mediate long-term potassium influx into guard cells leading to stomatal opening. Assuming opened or closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane; the channel is activated by hyperpolarization. The channel activity is enhanced upon external acidification
