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.

Structure of potassium channels [PDF]
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2015 Potassium channels ubiquitously exist in nearly all kingdoms of life and perform diverse but important functions. Since the first atomic structure of a prokaryotic potassium channel (KcsA, a channel from Streptomyces lividans) was determined, tremendous progress has been made in understanding the mechanism of potassium channels and channels conducting ...

The neuroglial potassium cycle during neurotransmission: role of Kir4.1 channels. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2015 Neuronal excitability relies on inward sodium and outward potassium fluxes during action potentials. To prevent neuronal hyperexcitability, potassium ions have to be taken up quickly.

Potassium Channels in Epilepsy [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2016 This review attempts to give a concise and up-to-date overview on the role of potassium channels in epilepsies. Their role can be defined from a genetic perspective, focusing on variants and de novo mutations identified in genetic studies or animal models with targeted, specific mutations in genes coding for a member of the large potassium channel ...
