REVIEW

Potassium Channels Keep Mobile Cells on the Go

Albrecht Schwab, Peter Hanley, Anke Fabian and Christian Stock

Institut für Physiologie II, Universität Münster, Germany

Cell motility is a prerequisite for the creation of new life, and it is required for maintaining the integrity of an organism. Under pathological conditions, "too much" motility may cause premature death. Studies over the past few years have revealed that ion channels are essential for cell motility. This review highlights the importance of K+ channels in regulating cell motility.
