Resumo

Kv4 channels generate rapidly activating and inactivating outward currents responsible for the repolarization of both cardiac and neuronal action potentials through ITO (transient outward current) and IA (A-type K+ current), respectively. Kv4 dysfunctions have been identified in both cardiac and neuronal diseases (Brugada syndrome, atrial fibrillation, epilepsy or Alzheimer's disease). However, Kv4 channels need to assemble with regulatory subunits to fully reproduce ITO and IA currents. Among them, we will focus on KChIPs (potassium channel interacting proteins), being KChIP3 predominant in the brain and KChIP2 in both brain and heart.
