1.A.1.3.8
SLOwpoke K+ channel, SLO-2 or Slo2, of 1107 aas and 6 TMSs, present in motor neurons.  It has six putative TMSs with a K+-selective pore and a large C-terminal cytosolic domain (Lim et al. 1999). Its requirements for both Cl- and Ca2+ are synergistic and associated with the same functional domain (Yuan et al. 2000) which serves to counteract hypoxia stress when cytoplasmic Cl- and Ca2+ concentrations increase (Yuan et al. 2003; Santi et al. 2003).  SLO2 protects from hypoxic injury by increasing the permeability of the mitochondrial inner membrane to K+ (Wojtovich et al. 2011). SLO-2 is functionally coupled with CaV1 and regulates neurotransmitter release (Liu et al. 2014).  Partially responsible for action potential repolarization during synaptic transmission (Ford and Davis 2014).
