name: voltage-gated potassium channel protein
def: "A potassium channel protein that has voltage-gated potassium channel activity. A voltage-gated potassium channel enables the transmembrane transfer of a potassium ion by a voltage-gated channel. A voltage-gated channel enables the transmembrane transfer of a solute by a channel whose open state is dependent on the voltage across the membrane in which it is embedded." [PRO:XQ, GO:0005249]
