Overexpression of Delayed Rectifier K+ Channels Promotes In situ Proliferation of Leukocytes in Rat Kidneys with Advanced Chronic Renal Failure
Leukocytes, such as lymphocytes and macrophages, predominantly express delayed rectifier K+ channels (Kv1.3), and the channels play crucial roles in the activation and proliferation of the cells. Since lymphocytes are activated in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), the channels expressed...
