Over ten different mammalian genes related to the Drosophila Shaker gene (the Sh gene family) have been identified recently. These genes encode subunits of voltage-dependent K+ channels. The family consists of four subfamilies: ShI genes are homologues of Shaker; ShII, ShIII, and ShIV are homologues of three other Shaker-like genes in Drosophila, Shab, Shaw, and Shal, respectively. We report here the cloning of a human K+ channel ShIII cDNA (HKShIIIC) obtained from a brain stem cDNA library. HKShIIIC transcripts express an atypical voltage-dependent transient (A-type) K+ current in Xenopus oocytes. This current is activated by large membrane depolarizations and is extremely sensitive to the K+ channel blocker TEA unlike most A-type currents. The gene encoding HKShIIIC maps to chromosome 1p21.
