Voltage-gated potassium channel F006 / 9562
Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) ion channel, molecular model. Ion channels are membrane-spanning proteins that form pores in cell membranes and act as pathways for the movement of inorganic ions into and out of the cell. Kv channels are specific to potassium ions (K+) and are sensitive to voltage changes in the cells membrane potential. During action potentials in nerve cells, they play a crucial role in returning the depolarised cell to a resting state

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of the Voltage-gated potassium channel F006 / 9562. The image, set against a clean white background, depicts a detailed illustration of this essential ion channel found in cell membranes. Ion channels are vital membrane-spanning proteins that form pores within cells, serving as pathways for the movement of inorganic ions into and out of the cell. Specifically, Kv channels like this one are specialized to facilitate the flow of potassium ions (K+), responding to changes in voltage across the cell's membrane potential. In nerve cells, these Kv channels play a crucial role during action potentials by swiftly returning depolarized cells to their resting state. This process is fundamental for proper functioning and communication within our nervous system. The molecular model presented here exhibits various structural elements such as alpha helices and beta sheets that contribute to its tertiary structure. These components create an intricate protein pore through which potassium ions can pass selectively. This stunning artwork not only highlights the beauty and complexity of biological molecules but also serves as a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, and medical professionals working in fields such as biology, medicine, biochemistry, proteomics, and healthcare. It exemplifies how scientific illustrations can bridge artistry with knowledge dissemination while shedding light on cutting-edge research in molecular biology.
