Pharmacology of Cardiac Potassium Channels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Cardiac K(+) channels are cardiomyocyte membrane proteins that regulate K(+) ion flow across the cell membrane on the electrochemical gradient and determine the resting membrane potential and the cardiac action potential morphology and duration. Several K(+) channels have been well studied in the human heart.

Nicorandil-Induced Hyperkalemia in a Uremic Patient

open access: yesCase Reports in Medicine, 2012
Nicorandil is an antianginal agent with nitrate-like and ATP-sensitive potassium channel activator properties. After activation of potassium channels, potassium ions are expelled out of the cells, which lead to membrane hyperpolarization, closure of ...

Neuroprotective effects of potassium channel openers on cerebral ischemia–reperfusion injury in diabetic rats

open access: yesBulletin of Faculty of Pharmacy Cairo University, 2017
Objectives: This study was done to estimate the potential neuroprotective role of potassium channel openers in cerebral ischemia–reperfusion (IR) injury in streptozotocin (STZ) induced type-I diabetic rats (T1DR).

Potassium channel antibody-associated encephalopathy: a potentially immunotherapy-responsive form of limbic encephalitis.

open access: yesBrain : a journal of neurology, 2004
Patients presenting with subacute amnesia are frequently seen in acute neurological practice. Amongst the differential diagnoses, herpes simplex encephalitis, Korsakoff's syndrome and limbic encephalitis should be considered.

Electrophysiological Mechanism of Catestatin Antiarrhythmia: Enhancement of Ito, IK, and IK1 and Inhibition of ICa‐L in Rat Ventricular Myocytes

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Cardiovascular disease remains one of the leading causes of death globally. Myocardial ischemia and infarction, in particular, frequently cause disturbances in cardiac electrical activity that can trigger ventricular arrhythmias.

A new family of outwardly rectifying potassium channel proteins with two pore domains in tandem. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Potassium channels catalyse the permeation of K+ ions across cellular membranes and are identified by a common structural motif, a highly conserved signature sequence of eight amino acids in the P domain of each channel's pore-forming alpha-subunit. Here

Biomimetic potassium selective nanopores [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
Reproducing the exquisite ion selectivity displayed by biological ion channels in artificial nanopore systems has proven to be one of the most challenging tasks undertaken by the nanopore community, yet a successful achievement of this goal offers immense technological potential.

What have we learned from two-pore potassium channels? Their molecular configuration and function in the human heart [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Two-pore domain potassium channels (K2P) control excitability, stabilize the resting membrane potential below firing threshold, and accelerate repolarisation in different cells.

Functional Reconstitution of a Voltage-Gated Potassium Channel in Giant Unilamellar Vesicles

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Voltage-gated ion channels are key players in cellular excitability. Recent studies suggest that their behavior can depend strongly on the membrane lipid composition and physical state. In vivo studies of membrane/channel and channel/channel interactions

KCNKØ: opening and closing the 2-P-domain potassium leak channel entails "C-type" gating of the outer pore. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Essential to nerve and muscle function, little is known about how potassium leak channels operate. KCNKØ opens and closes in a kinase-dependent fashion. Here, the transition is shown to correspond to changes in the outer aspect of the ion conduction pore.
