POTASSIUM CHANNEL POLYPEPTIDE

摘要

A human potassium channel polypeptide is described which is tissue-specific to the human brain. A full length cDNA which encodes the potassium channel polypeptide is disclosed as well as the interior structural region and the amino acid residue sequence of the human brain potassium channel biomolecule. Methods are provided to identify compounds that modulate the pharmacological activity of the potassium channel biomolecule and hence regulate brain potassium channel biological activity.
