KCNQs: Ligand- and Voltage-Gated Potassium Channels. [PDF]

open access: yesFront Physiol, 2020
Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels in the KCNQ (Kv7) family are essential features of a broad range of excitable and non-excitable cell types and are found in organisms ranging from Hydra vulgaris to Homo sapiens.

Direct neurotransmitter activation of voltage-gated potassium channels. [PDF]

open access: yesNat Commun, 2018
M-current is conveyed by voltage-sensitive KCNQ channels, which are enriched in GABAergic neurons and are activated by anticonvulsants such as retigabine.

Voltage-gated potassium channels as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders. [PDF]

open access: yesFront Cell Neurosci
Voltage-gated potassium channels are a widely distributed subgroup of potassium channels responsible for the efflux of potassium in the repolarisation of the cell membrane, and hence contribute to the latency and propagation of action potentials. As they

Voltage-Gated Potassium Channels as Regulators of Cell Death. [PDF]

open access: yesFront Cell Dev Biol, 2020
Ion channels allow the flux of specific ions across biological membranes, thereby determining ion homeostasis within the cells. Voltage-gated potassium-selective ion channels crucially contribute to the setting of the plasma membrane potential, to volume

Mathematical models of C-type and N-type inactivating heteromeric voltage gated potassium channels. [PDF]

open access: yesFront Cell Neurosci
Voltage gated potassium channels can be composed of either four identical, or different, pore-forming protein subunits. While the voltage gated channels with identical subunits have been extensively studied both physiologically and mathematically, those ...

Therapeutic role of voltage-gated potassium channels in age-related neurodegenerative diseases. [PDF]

open access: yesFront Cell Neurosci
Voltage-gated ion channels are essential for membrane potential maintenance, homeostasis, electrical signal production and controlling the Ca2+ flow through the membrane. Among all ion channels, the key regulators of neuronal excitability are the voltage-

Developmental Expression of Kv Potassium Channels at the Axon Initial Segment of Cultured Hippocampal Neurons [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Axonal outgrowth and the formation of the axon initial segment (AIS) are early events in the acquisition of neuronal polarity. The AIS is characterized by a high concentration of voltage-dependent sodium and potassium channels.
