Abstract excerpt
Kir4.1/Kir5.1 channels play a crucial role in important physiological functions, notably in the kidneys and brain. A hallmark of these channels is the coexistence of two mechanisms of inward rectification: the classical "extrinsic" inward rectification induced by polyamines and Mg2+ blocking the pore, and a novel "intrinsic" voltage-dependent mechanism driven by K+ flux. Previous studies have shown that...
