Abstract excerpt
G protein-gated inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK) channels play a significant role in physiopathology by the regulation of cell excitability. This regulation depends on the K+ ion conduction induced by structural constrictions: the selectivity filters (SFs), helix bundle crossings (HBCs), and G-loop gates. To explore why no permeation occurred when the constrictions were kept in the open state, a 4-K+-related...
