Abstract excerpt
TREK-2 is a member of the two-pore domain K(+) channel family and provides part of the background K(+) current in many types of cells. Neurotransmitters that act on receptors coupled to G(q) strongly inhibit TREK-2 and thus enhance cell excitability. The molecular basis for the inhibition of TREK-2 was studied. In COS-7 cells expressing TREK-2 and M(3) receptor, acetylcholine (ACh) applied to the bath solution...
