Abstract

Background: PI3K regulates the surface expression of Kv7.1. Results: Kv7.1 surface expression depends on PI3K activity in polarized epithelial cells. SGK1 is the primary downstream target of PI3K in this process, which involves inhibition of Nedd4-2-dependent endocytosis of the channel. Conclusion: The surface expression of Kv7.1 is regulated by a PI3K-SGK1-Nedd4-2-mediated pathway. Significance: This pathway could regulate Kv7.1 cell surface expression levels in epithelial cells and cardiac myocytes.
