Inward-rectifying potassium channels in retinal glial (Müller) cells

WebSummarizing our knowledge about the potassium channels structure and function & discussing the K+ channels modulator and the strategies for designing new drugs. Inward-rectifier potassium channels (Kir, IRK) are a specific lipid-gated subset of potassium channels. To date, seven subfamilies have been identified in various mammalian cell types, plants, and bacteria. They are activated by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). The malfunction of the channels … Meer weergeven A channel that is "inwardly-rectifying" is one that passes current (positive charge) more easily in the inward direction (into the cell) than in the outward direction (out of the cell). It is thought that this current may play an … Meer weergeven The phenomenon of inward rectification of Kir channels is the result of high-affinity block by endogenous polyamines, namely spermine, as well as magnesium ions, that plug the Meer weergeven Kir channels are found in multiple cell types, including macrophages, cardiac and kidney cells, leukocytes, neurons, and endothelial … Meer weergeven The crystal structure and function of bacterial members of the IRK-C family have been determined. KirBac1.1, from Burkholderia pseudomallei, is 333 amino acyl … Meer weergeven All Kir channels require phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) for activation. PIP2 binds to and directly … Meer weergeven Voltage-dependence may be regulated by external K , by internal Mg , by internal ATP and/or by G-proteins. The P domains of IRK channels exhibit limited sequence similarity to … Meer weergeven There are seven subfamilies of Kir channels, denoted as Kir1 - Kir7. Each subfamily has multiple members (i.e. Kir2.1, Kir2.2, Kir2.3, etc.) that have nearly identical amino acid sequences across known mammalian species. Kir channels … Meer weergeven shutters239

WebInward rectifiers are a class of K+ channels that can conduct much larger inward currents at membrane voltages negative to the K+ equilibrium potential than … Web1 jul. 2000 · Inward-rectifying currents were seen at pH 8.5 using command potentials from −140 to 120 mV in 20-mV increments. When pH in the internal solution was reduced to 7.5, these currents were inhibited by ∼60%. Further decreases in pH i caused strong inhibitions of these currents. Inward-rectifying currents were almost totally suppressed at pH 6.5. WebIn a companion study, we demonstrated a substantial increase in Kir2.1 protein occurs in β-cells lacking K(ATP) because of SUR1 deletion. In this report, we demonstrate that β-cells of SUR1 null islets have an upregulated inward rectifying K+current that helps to compensate for the loss of K(ATP) channels. shutters 2022
