Two-pore domain (K2P) potassium channels are the major molecular correlates of the background (leak) K+ current in a wide variety of cell types. They generally play a key role in setting the resting membrane potential and ...

The cytoplasmic loop between the second and third transmembrane segments is pivotal in the regulation of TRESK (TWIK-related spinal cord K+ channel, K2P18.1, KCNK18). Calcineurin binds to this region and activates the ...
