-Glycosylation of TREK-1/hK2.1 Two-Pore-Domain Potassium (K) Channels.

Mechanosensitive hTREK-1 two-pore-domain potassium (hK2.1) channels give rise to background currents that control cellular excitability. Recently, TREK-1 currents have been linked to the regulation of cardiac rhythm as well as to hypertrophy and fibrosis.
