TASK-like currents are found in various tissues and TASK channels are drug targets for many diseases, including diabetes (Pisani et al., 2016), obstructive sleep apnea (Kiper et al., 2015), pulmonary hypertension (Bohnen et al., 2017), and arrhythmias, like atrial fibrillation (Kiper et al., 2015; Liang et al., 2014; Limberg et al., 2011) or conduction disorders (Decher et al., 2011; Friedrich et al., 2014). Here, KCNK3 is linked to pulmonary hypertension.
