Abstract excerpt
Inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels play a pivotal role in physiology by establishing, maintaining, and regulating the resting membrane potential of the cells, particularly contributing to the cellular repolarization of many excitable cells. Dysfunction in Kir2.1 channels is implicated in several chronic and debilitating human diseases for which there are currently no effective treatments. Specifically,...
