name: shaker-related voltage-gated potassium channel alpha subunit
def: "A voltage-gated potassium channel alpha subunit that is a member of the subfamily A of voltage-gated potassium channels. The N terminus is rich in basic residues and this region is critical for the N-type inactivation. Shaker-related voltage-gated potassium channels (Kv1 channels) play an important role in modulating electrical excitability of axons." [PMID:11506885]
