G protein-gated inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK) channels hyperpolarize neurons in
response to activation of many different G protein-coupled receptors and thus control the …

Potassium channels are particularly important in determining the shape and duration of the
action potential, controlling the membrane potential, modulating hormone secretion …

This review addresses the localized regulation of voltage-gated ion channels by
phosphorylation. Comprehensive data on channel regulation by associated protein kinases …

G‐protein regulated inward‐rectifier potassium channels (GIRK) are part of a superfamily of
inward‐rectifier K+ channels which includes seven family members. To date four GIRK …

G protein-gated inwardly rectifying K+ (GIRK/Kir3) channels exert a critical inhibitory
influence on neurons. Neuronal GIRK channels mediate the G protein-dependent …

Cardiomyocytes from the pulmonary vein sleeves (PVs) are known to play an important role
in atrial fibrillation. PVs have been shown to exhibit time‐dependent hyperpolarization …

There are seven sub-families of Kir channels (Table 1), many of which have several
members. The sub-families are denoted Kit1. 0 to Kit7. 0 in the nomenclature introduced by …

For the past two decades several scholarly reviews have appeared on the inwardly rectifying
potassium (Kir) channels. We would like to highlight two efforts in particular, which have …

Abstract G protein-gated K+(GIRK, or Kir3) channels mediate inhibitory neurotransmission
via G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in heart and brain. The signaling cascade involves …

GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) B receptors are heterodimeric G protein–coupled receptors that
mediate slow synaptic inhibition in the central nervous system. Here we show that the …
