The Electrically Silent Kv6.4 Subunit Confers Hyperpolarized Gating Charge Movement in Kv2.1/Kv6.4 Heterotetrameric Channels

The voltage-gated K(+) (Kv) channel subunit Kv6.4 does not form functional homotetrameric channels but co-assembles with Kv2.1 to form functional Kv2.1/Kv6.4 heterotetrameric channels. Compared to Kv2.1 homotetramers, Kv6.4 exerts a ∼40 mV hyperpolarizing shift in the voltage-dependence of Kv2.1/Kv6...
