Pressure and ultrasound activate mechanosensitive TRAAK K(+) channels through increased membrane tension

TRAAK is a mechanosensitive two-pore domain K(+) (K2P) channel found in nodes of Ranvier within myelinated axons. It displays low leak activity at rest and is activated up to one hundred-fold by increased membrane tension. Structural and functional studies have led to physical models for channel gat...
