About
====================
Landing page for the muscarinic potassium channel (**K-ACh**).
Other names include: G protein-coupled inwardly rectifying potassium channel (**GIRK**)
This channel transports potassium ions across the plasma membrane according to the concentration gradient, and is activated through muscarinic receptors that are in turn activated by acetylcholine (ACh). K-ACh is part of the inward rectifying (K-ir) family.
These channels are heterotetramers composed of two GIRK1 and two GIRK4 subunits.
