VKCDB -- voltage-gated potassium channel database
What you can do:
Search for comprehensive information on voltage-gated potassium channel.
Highlights:
- VKCDB is a database of structural and functional data on voltage-gated potassium channels.
- Voltage-gated potassium channel sequences were identified by using BLASTP to search GENBANK and SWISSPROT.
- Annotations for all voltage-gated potassium channels were selectively parsed and integrated into VKCDB.
- Electrophysiological and pharmacological data for the channels were collected from published journal articles.
- Transmembrane domain predictions by TMHMM and PHD are included for each VKCDB entry.
- Multiple sequence alignments of conserved domains of channels of the four Kv families and the KCNQ family are also included.
- Currently VKCDB contains 346 channel entries.
- It can be browsed and searched using a set of functionally relevant categories. Protein sequences can also be searched using a local BLAST engine.
Keywords:
