Abstract excerpt
TWIK-related potassium channel 1 (TREK1), a two-pore domain potassium channel, is modulated by various hormones and neurotransmitters by activation of membrane receptor - coupled second messengers. 17β-estradiol is a neuromodulator capable of regulating several cellular processes including the activity of ion channels, in a rapid and non-genomic manner. The G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) is known to...
