Abstract excerpt
KEY POINTS: K+ channels are important in intestinal epithelium as they ensure the ionic homeostasis and electrical potential of epithelial cells during anion and fluid secretion. Intestinal epithelium cAMP-activated anion secretion depends on the activity of the (also cAMP dependent) KCNQ1-KCNE3 K+ channel, but the secretory process survives after genetic inactivation of the K+ channel in the mouse. Here we use...
