Abstract
We detail initial characteristics of potassium ion channel proteins including α subunits Kv1.2, Kv1.4, and Kv1.5 and β subunit Kvβ1.1 in mammalian vestibular tissue. This knowledge is critical to understanding the processing of vestibular stimuli and the regulation of endolymphatic function. Mutations of ion channels can cause neurological pathologies including auditory and vestibular disorders in humans.
