A subset of potassium channels is regulated primarily by changes in the cytoplasmic concentration of ions, including calcium, sodium, chloride, and protons. The eight members of this subfamily were originally all designated as calcium-activated channels. More recent studies have clarified the gating mechanisms for these channels and have documented that not all members are sensitive to calcium. This article describes the molecular relationships between these channels and provides an introduction to their functional properties. It also introduces a new nomenclature that differentiates between calcium- and sodium-activated potassium channels.
一部分钾通道主要受细胞质中离子浓度变化的调节,这些离子包括钙、钠、氯和质子。该亚家族的八个成员最初都被指定为钙激活通道。最近的研究阐明了这些通道的门控机制,并证明并非所有成员都对钙敏感。本文描述了这些通道之间的分子关系,并介绍了它们的功能特性。它还引入了一种新的命名法,以区分钙激活和钠激活的钾通道。
