| Tissue Distribution Comments |
| A very similar localization of Kv9 and Kv2 subunits has been observed at the cellular level in granular cells of the olfactory bulb, Purkinje and granular cells of the cerebellum, pyramidal cells of the hippocampus, and in granular cells of the dentate gyrus [2] |
Physiological Functions
|
| Regulation of membrane potential and action potential frequency by modulation of delayed rectifier potassium current. Kv9.1 modulates the activity of Kv2.1 and Kv2.2 α subunits by changing kinetics and levels of expression and by shifting the half-inactivation potential to more polarised values, and enhances the single-channel conductance of Kv2.1. |

General Comments
|
|
The human Kv9.1 gene is composed of a minimum of 5 exons, with at least 2 alternatively spliced exons in the 5' - untranslated region [1-4].
