Abstract

Voltage-gated ion channels (VGICs) are central to cellular excitation, orchestrating skeletal and cardiac muscle contractions and enabling neural signal transduction. Among these, voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels are particularly significant in cardiac electrophysiology, especially during the repolarization phase of the cardiac action potential. In cardiac myocytes, Kv channels are integral to a multitude of sophisticated functions, including electrical conduction. Despite their importance, research on Kv channels in the context of cardiovascular diseases is limited. This review offers a comprehensive summary of the structural complexities of Kv channels, delineating the regulatory mechanisms involved in channel gating, expression, and membrane localization. Additionally, we examine the role of different Kv α-subunits in modulating Kv channels and their impact on cardiac remodeling, and assess the potential of targeting Kv channels for the development of anti-arrhythmic therapies.

电压门控钾通道 α 亚基在心血管系统中的作用
电压门控离子通道(VGIC)是细胞兴奋、协调骨骼肌和心肌收缩以及实现神经信号传导的核心。其中,电压门控钾(Kv)通道在心脏电生理学中尤其重要,特别是在心脏动作电位的复极阶段。在心肌细胞中,Kv 通道与包括电传导在内的多种复杂功能密不可分。尽管 Kv 通道非常重要,但有关心血管疾病的研究却非常有限。本综述全面总结了 Kv 通道结构的复杂性,描述了通道门控、表达和膜定位所涉及的调控机制。此外,我们还研究了不同 Kv α 亚基在调节 Kv 通道中的作用及其对心脏重塑的影响,并评估了靶向 Kv 通道开发抗心律失常疗法的潜力。
