Inwardly rectifying potassium channel 5.1: Structure, function, and possible roles in diseases
摘要
Abstract
Inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channels make it easier for K
+
to enter into a cell and subsequently regulate cellular biological functions. Kir5.1 (encoded by
KCNJ16
) alone can form a homotetramer and can form heterotetramers with Kir4.1 (encoded by
KCNJ10
) or Kir4.2 (encoded by
KCNJ15
). In most cases
homomeric Kir5.1 is non-functional
while heteromeric Kir5.1 on the cell membrane contributes to the inward flow of K
+
ions
which can be regulated by intracellular pH and a variety of signaling mechanisms. In the form of a heterotetramer
Kir5.1 regulates Kir4.1/4.2 activity and is involved in the maintenance of nephron function. Actually
homomeric Kir5.1 may also play a very important role in diseases
including in the ventilatory response to hypoxia and hypercapnia
hearing impairment
cardiovascular disease and cancer. With an increase in the number of studies into the roles of Kir channels
researchers are paying more attention to the pathophysiological functions of Kir5.1. This minireview provides an overview regarding these Kir5.1 roles.
