The potassium channel is an integral membrane protein consisting of four identical subunits. Because it is located in the membrane, it consists of a number of cross-membrane (shown in blue)and its hydrophobic groups are mostly located on the outside of the structure, where they interact with the lipids inside the membrane. The interior of the channel, meanwhile, is hydrophilic with groups to interact with potassium cations, thus making the helices aliphatic. (shown in green) are located on the outside of the alpha helices.
