Tension activation of mechanosensitive two-pore domain K+ channels TRAAK, TREK-1, and TREK-2

Abstract TRAAK, TREK-1, and TREK-2 are mechanosensitive two-pore domain K+ (K2P) channels that contribute to action potential propagation, sensory transduction, and muscle contraction. While structural and functional studies have led to models that explain their mechanosensitivity, we lack a quantit...
