Inwardly rectifying K+ (Kir) channels allow K+ to move more easily into rather than out of the
cell. They have diverse physiological functions depending on their type and their location …

Potassium (K+) plays a number of important roles in plant growth and development. Over the
past few years, molecular approaches associated with electrophysiological analyses have …

Andersen's syndrome is characterized by periodic paralysis, cardiac arrhythmias, and
dysmorphic features. We have mapped an Andersen's locus to chromosome 17q23 …

Long QT and short QT syndromes (LQTS and SQTS) are cardiac repolarization
abnormalities that are characterized by length perturbations of the QT interval as measured …

The properties and roles of ATP-sensitive (KATP) and inwardly rectifying (KIR) potassium
channels are reviewed. Potassium channels regulate the membrane potential of smooth …

▪ Abstract The past three years have seen remarkable progress in research on the molecular
basis of inward rectification, with significant implications for basic understanding and …

Potassium channels play important roles in vital cellular signaling processes in both
excitable and nonexcitable cells. Over 50 human genes encoding various K+ channels have …

In this review we bring together and discuss a number of different manifestations of a
chemicalsensing paradigm sometimes called the resistivepulse method. In the simplest …

Abstract TWIK‐1, TREK‐1 and TASK K+ channels comprise a class of pore‐forming subunits
with four membrane‐spanning segments and two P domains. Here we report the cloning of …
