Abstract

Background: Kv7 potassium channels are regulated by protein kinase C (PKC) and may assemble as Kv7.4/Kv7.5-heteromers. Results: Kv7.4/Kv7.5-heteromers are endogenously expressed in artery myocytes; both subunits are differentially regulated by PKC. Conclusion: Regulation of Kv7 channels by PKC depends on its subunit composition. Significance: Insights into the mechanisms controlling Kv7 currents are important to understand how membrane potential is regulated.
