Findings indicate that endogenous TWIK-related spinal cord K(+) (TRESK) activity regulates trigeminal nociception, likely through controlling the intrinsic excitability of trigeminal ganglia nociceptors.

We compared the kinetics of Ba2+ block when channels were phosphorylated (inhibited) or dephosphorylated (activated) and in different mutants mimicking the two functional states. Neither the phosphorylation/dephosphorylation nor the point mutations influenced the development of Ba2+ block, suggesting that conformational changes of the bundle crossing region do not contribute to phosphorylation-dependent gating of TRESK.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
