Key residue Unlocks Dual PIP <sub>2</sub> -Dependent and Independent Gating in G Protein-Gated Inwardly Rectifying Potassium Channels
2025-02-18
Abstract excerpt
G protein-gated inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK) channels mediate membrane hyperpolarization in response to G protein-coupled receptor activation and are critical for regulating neuronal excitability. The membrane phospholipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP 2 ) is essential for regulating a large family of ion channels, and disruptions in PIP 2 interactions contribute to some neurological disease...
