Negative Influence by the Force: Mechanically Induced Hyperpolarization via K<sub>2P</sub> Background Potassium Channels

Negative Influence by the Force: Mechanically Induced Hyperpolarization via K<sub>2P</sub> Background Potassium Channels

The two-pore domain K<sub>2P</sub> subunits form background (leak) potassium channels, which are characterized by constitutive, although not necessarily constant activity, at all membrane potential values. Among the fifteen pore-forming K<sub>2P</sub> subunits encoded by the...
