Differential pH sensitivity of Kir4.1 and Kir4.2 potassium channels and their modulation by heteropolymerisation with Kir5.1.
1. The inwardly rectifying potassium channel Kir5.1 appears to form functional channels only by coexpression with either Kir4.1 or Kir4.2. Kir4.1-Kir5.1 heteromeric channels have been shown to exist in vivo in renal tubular epithelia. However, Kir5.1 is expressed in many other tissues where Kir4.1 i...
