Characterization and molecular basis for the block of Kv1.3 channels induced by carvedilol in HEK293 cells.

Abstract excerpt

Carvedilol is a non-selective β-adrenoreceptor antagonist and exhibits a wide range of biological activities. The voltage-gated K+ (Kv) channel is one of the target ion channels of this compound. The rapidly activating Kv1.3 channel is expressed in several different tissues and plays an important role in the regulation of physiological functions, including cell proliferation and apoptosis. However, little is...
