Abstract excerpt

Inwardly rectifying K+ channels are distantly related to their voltage-gated counterparts and possess a structural motif of only two putative transmembrane segments in each subunit. They are formed by the assembly of an unknown number of subunits. We have examined the subunit stoichiometry of a s...
