Potassium channels: new targets for drug treatment.
Potassium channels in cell membranes regulate cellular excitability, proliferation and growth. The central role of these ion channels in cell function has made them the targets for current drug treatment of hypertension, hair loss and diabetes, and also the subject of intense research for new drug therapies.
