Abstract excerpt
TASKs are members of the recently identified K(+) channel family (KCNKx). Four TASKs (TASK1-4) identified so far form functional K(+) channels and encode background K(+) channels in various cell types. Recently, another member (TASK-5) was identified in the human genome. We cloned it and studied its tissue expression and functional properties. TASK-5 shares 51% amino acid identity with TASK-1 and TASK-3. Northern...
