Function
Voltage-gated potassium channel that plays an important role in the rapid repolarization of fast-firing brain neurons. The channel opens in response to the voltage difference across the membrane; forming a potassium-selective channel through which potassium ions pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. The channel displays rapid activation and inactivation kinetics . It plays a role in the regulation of the frequency; shape and duration of action potentials in Purkinje cells . Required for normal survival of cerebellar neurons; probably via its role in regulating the duration and frequency of action potentials that in turn regulate the activity of voltage-gated Ca(2+) channels and cellular Ca(2+) homeostasis. Required for normal motor function . Plays a role in the reorganization of the cortical actin cytoskeleton and the formation of actin veil structures in neuronal growth cones via its interaction with HAX1 and the Arp2/3 complex

Location
Detected on Purkinje cells in the dentate; interposed and medial nucleus in cerebellum (PubMed:15217387; PubMed:18448641). Detected in brainstem (PubMed:18539595). Detected at calyces of Held in the auditory brain stem (at protein level) (PubMed:26997484). Isoform KV3.3B is highly enriched in the brain; particularly in the cerebellum; where its expression is confined to Purkinje cells and deep cerebellar nuclei. Isoform KV3.3A is not expressed in cerebellum.
