Regulation of M-type K+ channels by competing G protein coupled receptor signalling pathways

KCNQ (Kv7, M-type) K+ channels are key regulators of neuronal excitability. KCNQ channels are modulated by specific G protein coupled receptors which inhibit the channel via (1) a depletion in membrane phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (P1P2) or (2) via Ca2+-calrnodulin (CaM). Despite the sugges...
