Difference between Potassium channel and Voltage-gated potassium channel

Potassium channel vs. Voltage-gated potassium channel

Potassium channels are the most widely distributed type of ion channel and are found in virtually all living organisms. Voltage-gated potassium channels (VGKCs) are transmembrane channels specific for potassium and sensitive to voltage changes in the cell's membrane potential.

Similarities between Potassium channel and Voltage-gated potassium channel

Potassium channel and Voltage-gated potassium channel have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Action potential, Ball and chain inactivation, HERG, Ion channel, KvLQT1, Membrane potential, Voltage-gated ion channel, X-ray crystallography.

Action potential

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise.

Ball and chain inactivation

In neuroscience, ball and chain inactivation is a model to explain the fast inactivation mechanism of voltage-gated ion channels.

HERG

hERG (the human Ether-à-go-go-Related Gene) is a gene that codes for a protein known as Kv11.1, the alpha subunit of a potassium ion channel.

Ion channel

Ion channels are pore-forming membrane proteins that allow ions to pass through the channel pore.

KvLQT1

Kv7.1 (KvLQT1) is a potassium channel protein whose primary subunit in humans is encoded by the KCNQ1 gene.

Membrane potential

The term "membrane potential" may refer to one of three kinds of membrane potential.

Voltage-gated ion channel

Voltage-gated ion channels are a class of transmembrane proteins that form ion channels that are activated by changes in the electrical membrane potential near the channel.

X-ray crystallography

X-ray crystallography is a technique used for determining the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal, in which the crystalline atoms cause a beam of incident X-rays to diffract into many specific directions.

Potassium channel and Voltage-gated potassium channel Comparison

Potassium channel has 108 relations, while Voltage-gated potassium channel has 71. As they have in common 8, the Jaccard index is 4.47% = 8 / (108 + 71).
