Abstract excerpt
Phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PIP(2)) is the most abundant phosphoinositide in the plasma membrane of cells and its interaction with many ion channel proteins has proven to be a critical factor enabling ion channel gating. All members of the inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channel family depend on PIP(2) for their activity, displaying distinct affinities and stereospecificities of interaction with the...
