Cholesterol-induced suppression of Kir2 channels is mediated by decoupling at the inter-subunit interfaces

Summary: Cholesterol is a major regulator of multiple types of ion channels. Although there is increasing information about cholesterol binding sites, the molecular mechanisms through which cholesterol binding alters channel function are virtually unknown. In this study, we used a combination of Mar...
