When Is a Potassium Channel Not a Potassium Channel?
Function, 2022 Ever since they were first observed in Purkinje fibers of the heart, funny channels have had close connections to potassium channels. Indeed, funny channels were initially thought to produce a potassium current in the heart called IK2.

Potassium channel‐mediated NO‐induced vasodilation during maturation: Dominance of Kv7 channels [PDF]
FASEB BioAdvancesMaturation represents a process characterized by adaptive changes, particularly in the circulatory system. However, it is not known whether, in neonates, potassium channels contribute to NO‐induced vasorelaxation at all and, if so, which potassium ...

Unique features of two potassium channels, OsKAT2 and OsKAT3, expressed in rice guard cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Potassium is the most abundant cation and a myriad of transporters regulate K(+) homeostasis in plant. Potassium plays a role as a major osmolyte to regulate stomatal movements that control water utility of land plants.
