Mechanosensitivity of Mitochondrial Potassium Channels [PDF]
Mitochondria are known for their unique membrane architecture with the inner membrane folded into cristae. It is also known for long that mitochondria undergo drastic changes in volume. These volume changes depend on potassium fluxes. Influx via mitochondrial potassium channels (e.g.

Postconditioning with D-limonene exerts neuroprotection in rats via enhancing mitochondrial activity
The key component of neuroprotection after cerebral ischemia–reperfusion (I–R) injury is mitochondrial improvement. By focusing on the function of mitochondrial biogenesis and ATP-sensitive potassium (mK–ATP) channels and inflammatory responses, the ...

The Sodium Channel B4-Subunits are Dysregulated in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy Drug-Resistant Patients [PDF]
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common type of partial epilepsy referred for surgery due to antiepileptic drug (AED) resistance. A common molecular target for many of these drugs is the voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC).

The microbiologist’s guide to membrane potential dynamics [PDF]
All cellular membranes have the functionality of generating and maintaining the gradients of electrical and electrochemical potentials. Such potentials were generally thought to be an essential but homeostatic contributor to complex bacterial behaviors ...

Regulation of Proliferation by a Mitochondrial Potassium Channel in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Cells [PDF]
Previous results link the mitochondrial potassium channel Kv1.3 (mitoKv1.3) to the regulation of apoptosis. By synthesizing new, mitochondria-targeted derivatives (PAPTP and PCARBTP) of PAP-1, a specific membrane-permeant Kv1.3 inhibitor, we have ...

Mitochondrial potassium channels - an overview.
Mitochondria play a fundamental role in ATP synthesis within the majority of mammalian cells. Potassium channels present in the inner mitochondrial membrane are fine regulators of mitochondrial function, based on inner membrane K+ permeability. These channels are regulated by a plethora of factors and conditions in a way similar to plasma membrane ...
