Abstract excerpt
The aminoacid sequences of CNG and K(+) channels share a significant sequence identity, and it has been suggested that these channels have a common ancestral 3D architecture. However, K(+) and CNG channels have profoundly different physiological properties: indeed, K(+) channels have a high ionic selectivity, their gating strongly depends on membrane voltage and when opened by a steady depolarizing voltage...
