Abstract excerpt
TREK-1, a two-pore domain potassium channel, responds to ischemic levels of intracellular lactate and acidic pH to provide neuroprotection. There are two splice variants of hTREK1: the shorter splice variant having a shorter N-terminus compared with the full-length hTREK1 with similar C-terminus sequence that is widely expressed in the brain. The shorter variant was reported to be irresponsive to hypoxia-a...
