Abstract excerpt
Previous studies reported the controversial effects that protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibition could induce an up-regulation or down-regulation of Kir2.1 current. The present study investigates how the recombinant human Kir2.1 channels are regulated by PTKs using whole-cell patch voltage-clamp, immunoprecipitation and Western blot, and mutagenesis approaches. We found that hKir2.1 current was reversibly...
