Kir2.1-mediated membrane potential promotes nutrient acquisition and inflammation through regulation of nutrient transporters

Potassium channels and membrane potential may influence macrophage function during inflammation. Here the authors show that the Kir2.1 potassium channel affects macrophage metabolism by altering cell surface retention of nutrient transporters and subsequently regulates inflammatory disease responses...
