2-Aminoethoxydiphenyl borate activates the human mechano-gated KCNK channels KCNK 2 (TREK-1), KCNK 4 (TRAAK) and KCNK 10 (TREK-2).

2-Aminoethoxydiphenyl borate activates the human mechano-gated KCNK channels KCNK 2 (TREK-1), KCNK 4 (TRAAK) and KCNK 10 (TREK-2).

Abstract: Two-pore domain K+ (KCNK, K2P) channels underlie the leak (background) potassium conductance in many types of excitable cells. They oppose membrane depolarization and cell excitability. These channels have been reported to be modulated by several physical and chemical stimuli. The compound...
