Term Name: | clustering of voltage-gated potassium channels |
---|---|
Synonyms: | clustering of voltage gated potassium channels, clustering of voltage-dependent potassium channels, Kv channel clustering, voltage-gated potassium channel clustering |
Definition: | The process in which voltage-gated potassium channels become localized together in high densities. In animals, voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels are clustered beneath the myelin sheath in regions immediately adjacent to paranodes, called juxtaparanodes, and along the inner mesaxon within the internode. |
