The structure, regulation and pathophysiology of potassium channels
Potassium channels are membrane proteins that allow the passive diffusion of potassium down its electrochemical gradient. They play a critical role in many cellular processes and have, therefore, been extensively studied. Over the past several years, the molecular structures of several types of pota...

| Zusammenfassung: | Potassium channels are membrane proteins that allow the passive diffusion of potassium down its electrochemical gradient. They play a critical role in many cellular processes and have, therefore, been extensively studied. Over the past several years, the molecular structures of several types of potassium channels have been elucidated. This review investigates the most recent findings regarding the structure, regulation and pathophysiology of potassium channels. |
