KCNK2: reversible conversion of a hippocampal potassium leak into a voltage-dependent channel.

Nature neuroscience - 1 May 2001

Bockenhauer D, Zilberberg N, Goldstein S A

Abstract excerpt

Potassium leak channels are essential to neurophysiological function. Leaks suppress excitability through maintenance of resting membrane potential below the threshold for action potential firing. Conversely, voltage-dependent potassium channels permit excitation because they do not interfere with rise to threshold, and they actively promote recovery and rapid re-firing. Previously attributed to distinct...
