TASK-1 and TASK-3 strongly affect the development of pressure overload cardiomyopathies in genetic models of TASK-1 and TASK-3 loss of function. The effects of TASK-1 loss of function were associated with enhanced AKT phosphorylation and expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1 (PGC-1) transcription factor.
Title: TASK-1 and TASK-3 channels modulate pressure overload-induced cardiac remodeling and dysfunction.
Study reports that the transcription factor Sp1 controls p11 expression, which impacts on excitability by hampering functional expression of TASK1. In the SOD1-G93A mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Sp1-p11-TASK1 dysregulation contributes to increased excitability and vulnerability of motor neurons. Interference with either Sp1 or p11 delays neuron loss and prolongs lifespan in this model.

studies demonstrate that TASK channels can limit ischemia-reperfusion damage in the cortex, and postconditioning with volatile anesthetics provides neuroprotective actions that depend, in part, on activation of TASK currents in cortical neurons.
Title: TASK channels contribute to neuroprotective action of inhalational anesthetics.
Whereas adult female TASK-1-/- mice had a virtually normal respiratory phenotype, except for an increased relaxation time, adult male TASK-1-/- mice exhibited enhanced ventilation that was mainly due to an increased tidal volume. Respiratory responses to hypercapnia and hypoxia were largely preserved. In neonatal TASK-1-/- mice, respiratory drive appeared reduced and knockout animals were more prone to experience apnea.
Title: Sex-dependent differences in the in vivo respiratory phenotype of the TASK-1 potassium channel knockout mouse.
Acute hypercapnia (5% CO2) stimulated ventilation in TASK-1/3(-/-) and wild-type mice to a similar extent; however, at higher CO2 concentrations the stimulation of ventilation was more pronounced in TASK-1/3(-/-) mice. At hyperoxia (100% O2), TASK-1(-/-), TASK-3(-/-) and wild-type mice showed the physiological small decrease of ventilation. TASK-1/3(-/-) mice exhibited an abnormal increase of ventilation under hyperoxia.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
