Voltage-gated potassium channel F006 / 9391
Voltage-gated potassium channel. Molecular model of a voltage-gated potassium (Kv) ion channel complexed with the antigen-binding fragment (Fab) of a monoclonal antibody. 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 a voltage-gated potassium channel F006/9391. The image depicts a detailed model of this ion channel complexed with the antigen-binding fragment (Fab) of a monoclonal antibody. Against a pristine white background, this illustration highlights the essential role that ion channels play in facilitating the movement of inorganic ions across cell membranes. Voltage-gated potassium channels, like the one depicted here, are specifically designed to allow for the passage of potassium ions (K+) and are highly sensitive to changes in membrane potential. In nerve cells, these channels play a crucial role in restoring cellular equilibrium after an action potential by returning depolarized cells to their resting state. The molecular model featured in this artwork provides valuable insights into the tertiary structure and composition of this vital protein pore. It showcases key elements such as alpha helices and beta sheets that contribute to its functionality. Additionally, it emphasizes how monoclonal antibodies can interact with specific regions on these ion channels. With its focus on biology, research, medicine, and biochemistry, this visually striking image offers immense value for scientific exploration and understanding. Whether used for educational purposes or within healthcare settings, this stunning artwork serves as an invaluable resource for those delving into proteomics or studying voltage-dependent processes at the molecular level.
