Channel Blocker Comments
Arrangement of Kv1 subunits in heteromeric channels dictates TEA pharmacology [2]. Dendrotoxin-k is a selective inhibitor of Kv1.1 containing channels. IC50 for α-dendrotoxin blockade differs between Kv1.1 expressed in Xenopus oocytes and mammalian cells [12].

Biologically Significant Variant Comments
A total of 246 SNPs have been identified in human KCNA1. For more information see the entry on GeneCards.
General Comments
Kv1.1 can coassemble with other Kv1 family members in heteromultimers but not with members of other Kv families. Arrangement of Kv1 subunits in a tetramer dictates pharmacology. Unique in that it has an intronless coding region. Part of the mammalian Shaker-related family. Kv1.1 KO mice have spontaneous recurrent seizures and premature death in a strain-dependent manner. Mutations lead to episodic ataxia in humans, and megacephaly in mice.
