Abstract: Inwardly rectifying K+ (Kir) channel expression signals at an advanced stage of maturation during oligodendroglial differentiation. Knocking down their expression halts the generation of myelin and produces severe abnormalities in the central nervous system. Kir4.1… read more here.

Abstract: A second‐generation antihistamine, terfenadine, is known to induce arrhythmia by blocking hERG channels. In this study, we have shown that terfenadine also inhibits the activity of G‐protein‐gated inwardly rectifying K+ (GIRK) channels, which regulate the… read more here.
