Table 2.

Summary of Kv1.3 phosphorylation residues and physiological relevance. As shown, only two serine/threonine kinases have been reported to phosphorylate specific amino acids of the channel. Kv1.3 is phosphorylated in diverse tyrosine residues with different outcomes depending on the kinase. PKC: Protein Kinase C, ERK1/2: Extracellular signal-Related Kinases, v-Src: viral sarcoma, EGFR: Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor, PDGFR: Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor, IRK: Insulin Receptor Kinase, TrkB: Tropomyosin Receptor Kinase B.
