Physical mechanism for gating and mechanosensitivity of the human TRAAK K+ channel

Activation of mechanosensitive ion channels by physical force underlies many physiological processes including the sensation of touch, hearing and pain(1–5). TRAAK ion channels are neuronally expressed members of the two-pore domain K(+) (K2P) channel family and are mechanosensitive(6). They are inv...
