| Gene Symbol | KV31PROTEIN |
| Full Name | Kv3.1 |
| Protein Type | Protein |
| Function | is a member of the Shaw-related family of voltage-gated potassium channels (Kv3 subfamily). |
| Primary Expression | fast-spiking GABAergic interneurons, including parvalbumin-positive basket cells and chandelier cells, where they are essential for precise temporal c |
| Subcellular Localization | s and functional properties |
| UniProt ID | Search UniProt |
| GeneCards | KV31PROTEIN |
| Human Protein Atlas | KV31PROTEIN |
| Fast Activation | Voltage-dependent activation occurs within 1-2 ms |
| Fast Deactivation | Rapid closure upon membrane repolarization |
| High Threshold | Channels activate at relatively depolarized potentials (around -10 to +10 mV) |
| Broadened Action Potentials | In neurons expressing Kv3.1, action potentials are shorter in duration |
| Reduced AHP | Decreased afterhyperpolarization enables rapid firing |
| Cerebral Cortex | Predominantly in parvalbumin (PV)-positive interneurons |
| Associated Diseases | neurodegeneration |
| Databases | GeneCardsNCBI GeneHPASTRING |
