    GIRK1/GIRK4 hetero-tetramers are not activated by Na+, but rather are in a permanent state of high responsiveness to G proteins beta-gamma, suggesting that the GIRK1 subunit functions like a GIRK4 subunit with Na+ permanently bound.

    The GIRK1 subunit potentiates G protein activation of cardiac GIRK1/4 hetero-tetramers.
