Gene Name
slo-1; Y51A2D.19
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans
Length
1140 amino acids
AlphaFoldDB
AF-Q95V25-F1-model_v4.pdb
Function
Potassium channel activated by both membrane depolarization or increase in cytosolic Ca(2+) that mediates export of K(+). Its activation dampens the excitatory events that elevate the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration and/or depolarize the cell membrane. It therefore contributes to repolarization of the membrane potential. Essential for the regulation of neurotransmitter release at synapses
