Mitochondrial ultrastructure and glucose signaling pathways attributed to the Kv1.3 ion channel
Gene-targeted deletion of the potassium channel Kv1.3 (Kv1.3-/-) results in ‘Super-smeller’ mice with a sensory phenotype that includes an increased olfactory ability linked to changes in olfactory circuitry, increased abundance of olfactory cilia, and ...

Pleiotropic Effects of Simvastatin on the Regulation of Potassium Channels in Monocytes
PurposeThe underlying mechanism of pleiotropic effects of statins on atherosclerosis is still unclear. Kv1.3 and KCa3.1 are two potassium channels that might be involved in monocyte migration and atherosclerosis formation.

The voltage-gated potassium channel KV1.3 is an important therapeutic target for the treatment of autoimmune and neuroinflammatory diseases. The recent structures of KV1.3, Shaker-IR (wild-type and inactivating W434F mutant) and an inactivating mutant of

Brain white matter damage is frequently detected in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). White matter is composed of neuronal axons sheathed by oligodendrocytes (Ols), the myelin-forming cells in central nervous system. Ols

Deciphering the Kv1.3/Caveolin Interaction [PDF]
Lipid rafts are specialized membrane microdomains rich in sphingolipids and cholesterol where signaling molecules and their targets converge. These domains are more ordered and tightly packed than the surrounding bilayer. Rafts contain caveolins, which are implicated in many physiological processes such as cholesterol transport to the membrane surface.

To develop a simple screening system for blockers of voltage-gated Kv1.3 and Kv1.5 channels, new cell lines co-expressing mutated Nav1.5 (IFM/Q3), Kir2.1 (Kir), and Kv1.3 or Kv1.5 were introduced as IFM/Q3+Kir+Kv1.3 and IFM/Q3+Kir+Kv1.5, respectively ...

The C-terminal HRET sequence of Kv1.3 regulates gating rather than targeting of Kv1.3 to the plasma membrane [PDF]
AbstractKv1.3 channels are expressed in several cell types including immune cells, such as T lymphocytes. The targeting of Kv1.3 to the plasma membrane is essential for T cell clonal expansion and assumed to be guided by the C-terminus of the channel.

Regulation of the Voltage Gated K+ Channel Kv1.3 by Recombinant Human Klotho Protein
Background/Aims: Klotho, a protein mainly produced in the kidney and released into circulating blood, contributes to the negative regulation of 1,25(OH)2D3 formation and is thus a powerful regulator of mineral metabolism. As β-glucuronidase, alpha Klotho
