Abstract
Structural Characteristics
Human Gene Nomenclature Committee System
The Standardized K+ Channel Nomenclature System
Formulation of a Rational Classification
This summary article presents an overview of the molecular relationships among the voltage-gated potassium channels and a standard nomenclature for them, which is derived from the IUPHAR Compendium of Voltage-Gated Ion Channels.1 The complete Compendium, including data tables for each member of the potassium channel family can be found at http://www.iuphar-db.org/iuphar-ic/.
