Voltage-gated potassium channel F006 / 9642
Voltage-gated potassium channel. Molecular model of a voltage-gated potassium (Kv) ion channel. 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 model of a voltage-gated potassium channel, specifically the F006/9642 variant. The image depicts a white background that accentuates the complexity and beauty of this biological structure. Voltage-gated potassium channels are vital membrane-spanning proteins responsible for forming pores in cell membranes. These pores act as pathways for inorganic ions, particularly potassium ions (K+), to move into and out of cells. What makes Kv channels unique is their sensitivity to changes in voltage within the cell's membrane potential. In nerve cells, these Kv channels play a crucial role during action potentials by aiding in returning depolarized cells back to a resting state. This essential function highlights their significance in maintaining proper cellular communication and overall nervous system functionality. The molecular model featured here exhibits various elements such as alpha helices, beta sheets, tertiary structures, and transmembrane regions that contribute to its overall architecture. Its tetrameric arrangement further emphasizes its complex nature. This stunning artwork not only serves as an aesthetic marvel but also holds immense value for research and medicine fields like biology, biochemistry, proteomics, and healthcare. It provides scientists with valuable insights into understanding ion channel behavior at a molecular level. Captured by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this print represents an amalgamation of artistry and scientific exploration while showcasing the intricacies of one of nature's most fascinating creations - the voltage-gated potassium channel F006/9642.
