K+ voltage-gated channel subfamily C member 3; KSHIIID; voltage-gated K+ channel subunit Kv3.3 (KCNC3)

Function: - mediates voltage-dependent K+ permeability of excitable membranes - opens & closes in response to the voltage difference across the membrane - forms a K+-selective channel through which K+ may pass in accordance with the electrochemical gradient - heterotetramer of K+ channel proteins Structure: - the segment S4 is probably the voltage-sensor & is characterized by a series of positively charged amino acids at every third position - the tail may be important in modulation of channel activity &/or targeting of the channel to specific subcellular compartments - belongs to the K+ channel family, C (Shaw) (TC 1.A.1.2) subfamily, Kv3.3/KCNC3 sub-subfamily Compartment: membrane Pathology: - defects in KCNC3 are the cause of spinocerebellar ataxia type 13
