clustering of voltage-gated potassium channels

Term ID

GO:0045163

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. 11456440
