Modulation of Kir4.1 and Kir4.1–Kir5.1 channels by small changes in cell volume

The K+ channels Kir4.1 and Kir4.1–Kir5.1 are expressed in the glial cells of the CNS and are involved in regulation of the K+ homeostasis. Several studies have shown that Kir4.1 channels are co-localized with aquaporins (AQP4) in the glial endfeet, and a putative functional coupling between the Kir...
