Abstract excerpt
Apoptosis-enabling neuronal potassium efflux is mediated by an enhancement of K+ currents. In cortical neurons, increased currents are triggered by dual phosphorylation of Kv2.1 by Src and p38 at channel residues Y124 and S800. It was recently shown that a K+ current surge is also present in hepa...
