MinK residues line a potassium channel pore.
Neuron - 1 Mar 1996
Wang K W, Tai K K, Goldstein S A
Abstract excerpt
MinK has neither the P region nor signature sequence that characterizes pore-forming subunits of all known K+ channels. A specific minK region has now been identified that affects external blockade by 2 common probes of K+ channel pores. When mutated to cysteine, residues in this region render mi...
