Signal-Gated Channels

Jim Hutchins; Avalon Marker; and Shelby Pickett

Chapter under construction.  This is the first draft. If you have questions, or want to help in the writing or editing process, please contact hutchins.jim@gmail.com.

Signal Gated Channels

  • Muscarinic AcH receptors => this opens the K+ channel
  • GIRK => Inwardly rectifying K+ channel

Signal-gated potassium channel: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2525744/

Inward rectification: https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/01.RES.78.1.1 [as I said, I don’t think we want to address this in your chapters but I do think I should write up a short chapter that you can link to; this is just for your reference]
