Differential modulation of C. elegans motor behavior by NALCN and two-pore domain potassium channels

C Zhou, Q Zhou, X He, Y He, X Wang, X Zhu… - PLoS …, 2022 - journals.plos.org
Two-pore domain potassium channels (K2P) are a large family of “background” channels
that allow outward “leak” of potassium ions. The NALCN/UNC80/UNC79 complex is a non …
