Kv2/Kv6.4 heteromeric potassium channels are expressed in spinal motor neurons and localized at C-bouton synapses

Taylor A Lacey, Karl D. Murray, James S. Trimmer…·Michael Ferns

The paper identifies a specific Kv2/Kv6.4 channel subtype in spinal motor neurons localized at C-bouton synapses, showing dependence on Kv2 subunits for expression and clustering.
