متن کاملVoltage-gated potassium channels in cell proliferation.
It is commonly accepted that cells require K(+) channels to proliferate. The role(s) of K(+) channels in the process is, however, poorly understood. Cloning of K(+) channel genes opened the possibility to approach this problem in a way more independent from pharmacological tools. Recent work shows that several identified K(+) channels are important in both physiological and pathological cell pr...
متن کاملMechanisms of Activation of Voltage-Gated Potassium Channels
Voltage-gated potassium ion channels (Kv) play an important role in a variety of cellular processes, including the functioning of excitable cells, regulation of apoptosis, cell growth and differentiation, the release of neurotransmitters and hormones, maintenance of cardiac activity, etc. Failure in the functioning of Kv channels leads to severe genetic disorders and the development of tumors, ...
متن کاملHypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction: role of voltage-gated potassium channels
Activity of voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels controls membrane potential, which subsequently regulates cytoplasmic free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). Acute hypoxia inhibits Kv channel function in PASMCs, inducing membrane depolarization and a rise in [Ca2+ ]cyt that triggers vasoconstriction. Prolonged hypoxia inhibits expression of Kv ...
متن کاملVoltage-gated potassium channels in larval CNS neurons of Drosophila.
The availability of genetic, molecular, and biophysical techniques makes Drosophila an ideal system for the study of ion channel function. We have used the patch-clamp technique to characterize voltage-gated K+ channels in cultured larval Drosophila CNS neurons. Whole-cell currents from different cells vary in current kinetics and magnitude. Most of the cells contain a transient A-type 4-AP-sen...
