Convergence of Multiple Stimuli to a Single Gate in TREK1 and TRAAK Potassium Channels

Inhibitory potassium channels of the TREK1/TRAAK family are integrators of multiple stimuli, including temperature, membrane stretch, polyunsaturated fatty acids and pH. How these signals affect the gating of these channels is the subject of intense research. We have previously identified a cytoplas...
