What's a GeneRIF?

ANG II inhibits bTREK-1 K(+) channels by a Ca(2+)-dependent mechanism that does not require the depletion of membrane-associated PIP(2).
Title: Calcium-dependent inhibition of adrenal TREK-1 channels by angiotensin II and ionomycin.
Metabolites of cAMP stimulate TREK-1 expression in adrenal cortex cells by activation of a novel cAMP-independent mechanism.
Title: cAMP analogs and their metabolites enhance TREK-1 mRNA and K+ current expression in adrenocortical cells.
These findings demonstrate that, in addition to the well-described PKA-dependent TREK-1 inhibition, ACTH, NPS-ACTH, forskolin, and 8-pCPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP also inhibit these K(+) channels by a PKA-independent signaling pathway.
Title: ACTH inhibits bTREK-1 K+ channels through multiple cAMP-dependent signaling pathways.
Angiotensin II (ANGII) inhibits adrenocortical cell KCNK2 in an ATP dependent, PLC/PKC independent manner.
Title: Angiotensin II inhibits native bTREK-1 K+ channels through a PLC-, kinase C-, and PIP2-independent pathway requiring ATP hydrolysis.
These results identify bTREK-1 K(+) channels as a pivotal control point where ANG II receptor activation is transduced to depolarization-dependent Ca(2+) entry and aldosterone secretion.
Title: TREK-1 K+ channels couple angiotensin II receptors to membrane depolarization and aldosterone secretion in bovine adrenal glomerulosa cells.
Data show that angiotensin II and paracrine factors that act through phospholipase C inhibit bTREK-1 in adrenocortical cells through simultaneous activation of separate Ca2+- and ATP hydrolysis-dependent signaling pathways.
Title: Angiotensin II inhibits bTREK-1 K+ channels in adrenocortical cells by separate Ca2+- and ATP hydrolysis-dependent mechanisms.
TREK-1 channels may function as sensors that couple the metabolic state of the cell to membrane potential, perhaps through an associated ATP-binding protein
Title: An ACTH- and ATP-regulated background K+ channel in adrenocortical cells is TREK-1.

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.
