Functional significance of M-type potassium channels in nociceptive cutaneous sensory endings

Functional significance of M-type potassium channels in nociceptive cutaneous sensory endings

M-channels carry slowly activating potassium currents that regulate excitability in a variety of central and peripheral neurons. Functional M-channels and their Kv7 channel correlates are expressed throughout the somatosensory nervous system where they may play an important role in controlling senso...
