K2P channel is the leaky potassium channel that is critical to keep up the negative resting membrane potential for legitimate electrical conductivity of the excitable tissues. Recently, many substances and medication elements are discovered that could either straightforwardly or in a roundabout way influence the 15 distinctive K ion channels including TWIK, TREK, TASK, TALK, THIK, and TRESK. Opening and shutting of these channels or any adjustment in their conduct is thought to alter the pathophysiological condition of CNS. There is no document available till now to explain in detail about the molecular mechanism of agents acting on K2P channel. Accordingly, in this review we cover the current research and mechanism of action of these channels, we have also tried to mention the detailed effect of drugs and how the channel behavior changes by focusing on recent advances regarding activation and modulation of ion channels.
K2P通道是一种对维持可兴奋组织正常电传导所需的负性静息膜电位至关重要的钾离子渗漏通道。最近,人们发现了许多物质和药物成分,它们可以直接或间接影响包括TWIK、TREK、TASK、TALK、THIK和TRESK在内的15种不同的钾离子通道。这些通道的开放和关闭或其行为的任何改变都被认为会改变中枢神经系统的病理生理状态。到目前为止,还没有文献详细解释作用于K2P通道的药物的分子机制。因此,在本综述中,我们涵盖了这些通道的当前研究和作用机制,我们还试图通过关注离子通道激活和调节方面的最新进展,详细提及药物的作用效果以及通道行为是如何变化的。
