Key result
Heteromeric Kv1.3/Kv1.5 channels exhibited higher mobility and targeted distinct surface microdomains compared to Kv1.3 homotetramers, suggesting complex regulation in immune cells.

Heteromeric Kv1.3/Kv1.5 data from HEK cells should not guide clinical decisions; leaves open raft-dependent targeting in native leukocytes.
The association of Kv1.5 with Kv1.3 alters channel trafficking and membrane localization, suggesting a complex regulatory mechanism in immune cells.
Vicente et al. (2008) studied this question. Heteromeric Kv1.3/Kv1.5 channels exhibited higher mobility and targeted distinct surface microdomains compared to Kv1.3 homotetramers, suggesting complex regulation in immune cells.
