Kir Channel Subtypes 0
Kir channel subtypes are a group of inwardly rectifying potassium channels that play crucial roles in regulating membrane potential and cellular excitability across various tissues. These channels are distinguished by their unique gating properties and sensitivity to factors like intracellular ATP, G-proteins, and pH, making them vital in physiological processes such as cardiac rhythm, insulin release, and neuronal signaling.
