Biological process

Kv channel clustering, clustering of voltage gated potassium channels, clustering of voltage-dependent potassium channels, voltage-gated potassium channel clustering

The process in which voltage-gated potassium channels become localized together in high densities. In animals, voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels are clustered beneath the myelin sheath in regions immediately adjacent to paranodes, called juxtaparanodes, and along the inner mesaxon within the internode.
