In-depth study of the interaction, sensitivity and gating modulation by PUFAs on K+ channels; interaction and new targets
Voltage gated potassium channels (Kv) are membrane proteins that allow selective flow of K+ ions in a voltage-dependent manner. These channels play an important role in several excitable cells as neurons, cardiomyocytes and vascular smooth muscle. Over the last 20 years, it has been shown that omega...
