NSF Project

The KCNE3 research conducted in our lab is made possible through a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). This funding is crucial as it enables us to explore the intricate structure and dynamics of the KCNE3 membrane protein, which plays a vital role in understanding voltage-gated potassium channel gating. Our ongoing investigations aim to elucidate the structural and functional relationship of KCNE3, looking at its interactions with ion channel KCNQ1 and its implications in health and disease.

The support from NSF underscores the importance of our work in advancing the scientific community’s understanding of membrane proteins, particularly in relation to their potential therapeutic targets. As we progress, we remain committed to sharing our findings and contributing to the broader research landscape. This endeavor reflects not only our dedication to scientific excellence but also our pursuit of tangible benefits for healthcare advancements.
