Abstract excerpt
G-protein-coupled inward rectification K(+) (GIRK) channels play an important role in modulation of synaptic transmission and cellular excitability. The GIRK channels are regulated by diverse intra- and extracellular signaling molecules. Previously, we have shown that GIRK1/GIRK4 channels are activated by extracellular protons. The channel activation depends on a histidine residue in the M1-H5 linker and may play...
