Key Points

To investigate how temperature and pH influence potassium currents in the muscles of Cancer borealis.
Analyzed the effects of temperature and pH on potassium currents in isolated muscles.
Examined contributions from K2P channels to the observed currents.
Potassium currents are significantly affected by temperature variations.
pH changes also modify the amplitude of the potassium currents, indicating responsiveness to environmental conditions.
