Kp protein knowledge page
About
Landing page for the channels contributing to the plateau potassium current (Kp).
This channel transports potassium ions across the plasma membrane according to the concentration gradient.
Model
The below image shows the bond graph diagram of the channel operating under normal physiological conditions.
