Kv3 channels: voltage-gated K+ channels designed for high-frequency repetitive firing
Abstract
Analysis of the Kv3 subfamily of K(+) channel subunits has lead to the discovery of a new class of neuronal voltage-gated K(+) channels characterized by positively shifted voltage dependencies and very fast deactivation rates. These properties are adaptations that allow these channels to produce currents that can specifically enable fast repolarization of action potentials without compromising spike initiation or height. The short spike duration and the rapid deactivation of the Kv3 currents after spike repolarization maximize the quick recovery of resting conditions after an action potential. Several neurons in the mammalian CNS have incorporated into their repertoire of voltage-dependent conductances a relatively large number of Kv3 channels to enable repetitive firing at high frequencies - an ability that crucially depends on the special properties of Kv3 channels and their impact on excitability.

In the citing paper
“Early attempts to match expression patterns of recent cloned channel transcripts with biophysical properties measured by whole cell recording techniques in in vitro slices did, however, yield some modest successes, particularly with channels formed by the Kv3 family of voltage-gated potassium channels (967) as discussed below.”

In the citing paper
“Delayed rectifier channels assembled from Kv3 subunits are instrumental components in conferring high-frequency action potential firing in numerous hippocampal and cortical interneuron subtypes (304, 967, 1187).”
From Hippocampal GABAergic Inhibitory Interneurons (2017) · cites this paper as [967]

“This optimism was short lived as it became apparent that few channels expressed in recombinant systems perfectly matched the biophysical properties of native channels (967).”
From Hippocampal GABAergic Inhibitory Interneurons (2017) · cites this paper as [967]
In the citing paper
“Importantly, the rapid activation kinetics enforces a narrow temporal window that minimizes Na+ channel inactivation, and the consequent deep hyperpolarization serves to deinactivate other voltage-gated channels ensuring a high fraction are available for activation during trains of action potentials (967).”
From Hippocampal GABAergic Inhibitory Interneurons (2017) · cites this paper as [967]
In the citing paper
“Their rapid activation ensures efficient spike repolarization, and their rapid deactivation allows minimal K+ current accumulation during the interspike interval that would interfere with generation of subsequent action potentials.”
From Hippocampal GABAergic Inhibitory Interneurons (2017) · cites this paper as [967]
In the citing paper
“Dendritic Kv3 currents act to accelerate the decay time course of excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs), imposing a narrow window for temporal integration (504, 967), and minimize the impact of clustered excitatory input to favor distributed synaptic inputs (504).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
