Developmental expression of Kv potassium channels at the axon initial segment of cultured hippocampal neurons.

Axonal outgrowth and the formation of the axon initial segment (AIS) are early events in the acquisition of neuronal polarity. The AIS is characterized by a high concentration of voltage-dependent sodium and potassium channels. However, the specific ion channel subunits present and their precise loc...
