  • Isolated TWIK-1 potassium channel proteins
    Patent number: 7067625
    Abstract: This invention relates to the cloning of a member of a new potassium channel named TWIK-1. More specifically, it relates to an isolated and purified nucleic acid molecule coding for a protein constituting a potassium channel exhibiting the proper-ties and structure of the TWIK-1 type channel, as well as the protein coded by this nucleic acid molecule. The invention also relates to the use of this nucleic acid molecule to transform cells, and the use of these cells expressing the potassium channels exhibiting the properties and structure of the TWIK-1 type channel for the screening of drugs.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 11, 2000
    Date of Patent: June 27, 2006
    Inventors: Florian Lesage, Eric Guillemare, Michel Fink, Fabrice Duprat, Michel Lazdunski, Georges Romey, Jacques Barhanin
