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 ...

Drunk potassium channels [PDF]
Europace, 2011 We report the case of a 42-year-old woman who was admitted due to alcohol induced dehydration leading to cardiac symptoms. On physical examination severe hypokalaemia and long QT syndrome were apparent. During potassium (K+) supplementation we simultaneously observed QT interval recovery.

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.

Current Challenges of Mitochondrial Potassium Channel Research
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 In this paper, the current challenges of mitochondrial potassium channels research were critically reviewed. Even though recent progress in understanding K+ traffic in mitochondria has been substantial, some basic issues of this process remain unresolved.
