Genetics update: monogenetics, polygene disorders and the quest for modifying genes [PDF]
, 2018 The genetic channelopathies are a broad collection of diseases. Many ion channel genes demonstrate wide phenotypic pleiotropy, but nonetheless concerted efforts have been made to characterise genotype-phenotype relationships.

Mechanisms of Activation of Voltage-Gated Potassium Channels [PDF]
Acta Naturae, 2014 Voltage-gated potassium ion channels (Kv) play an important role in a variety of cellular processes, including the functioning of excitable cells, regulation of apoptosis, cell growth and differentiation, the release of neurotransmitters and hormones, maintenance of cardiac activity, etc.

Actions and Mechanisms of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on Voltage-Gated Ion Channels [PDF]
, 2017 Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) act on most ion channels, thereby having significant physiological and pharmacological effects. In this review we summarize data from numerous PUFAs on voltage-gated ion channels containing one or several voltage ...

C-terminal β9-strand of the cyclic nucleotide-binding homology domain stabilizes activated states of Kv11.1 channels. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Kv11.1 potassium channels are important for regulation of the normal rhythm of the heartbeat. Reduced activity of Kv11.1 channels causes long QT syndrome type 2, a disorder that increases the risk of cardiac arrhythmias and sudden cardiac arrest.

Strategies for studying permeation at voltage-gated ion channels [PDF]
, 1991 Voltage-dependent ion channels are presently thought to consist of several distinct functional regions: (a) activation gates, (b) inactivation gates, and permeation pathways.

Two-stage electro–mechanical coupling of a KV channel in voltage-dependent activation
Nature Communications, 2020 In voltage-gated potassium (KV) channels, the voltage-sensing domain (VSD) undergoes activation states to trigger pore opening via electro–mechanical (E–M) coupling. Here authors show that KV7.1 undergoes a two-stage E–M coupling mechanism during voltage-

Studies of Conorfamide-Sr3 on Human Voltage-Gated Kv1 Potassium Channel Subtypes
Marine Drugs, 2020 Recently, Conorfamide-Sr3 (CNF-Sr3) was isolated from the venom of Conus spurius and was demonstrated to have an inhibitory concentration-dependent effect on the Shaker K+ channel.
