Fast N-type inactivation of voltage-gated K<sup>+</sup> (Kv) channels is important in fine-tuning of cellular excitability. To serve diverse cellular needs, N-type inactivation is regulated by numerous mechanisms. Here, we address how reactive sulfur species-the gaseous messenger H<sub>2</sub>S and polysulfides-affect N-type inactivation of the mammalian Kv channels Kv1.4 and Kv3.4. In both channels, the H<sub>2</sub>S donor NaHS slowed down inactivation with varying potency depending on the "ag ...[more]
