Abstract excerpt
G protein coupled inward rectifier K(+) channels (GIRK) are activated by the G(βγ) subunits of G proteins upon activation of G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Receptor-stimulated GIRK currents are known to possess a curious property, termed "agonist-dependent relaxation," denoting a slow current increase upon stepping the membrane voltage from positive to negative potentials. Regulators of G protein signaling...
