Potasyum İyon Kanallarının Yapısı ve Genel Özellikleri

Abstract

Potassium ion channels, which have undertaken various but important functions, play an important role in various cellular functions, including the functioning of excitable cells, regulation of apoptosis, vascular smooth muscle tone, maintenance of cardiac activity, release of transmitters and hormones, cell growth and differentiation. The study introduced the general properties shared by potassium channels, followed by the specific properties of each class. Our aim is to helper readers grasp the basic concepts, become familiar with the potassium channel properties of different scientific areas, and better understand the structure and functions of these channels. In this review, the information about the molecular structure of potassium ion channels known so far, their general properties and the regulation of their localization in the cell membrane are summarized.
