May link ERK to Kv4.2 trafficking in seizures; hypothesis-generating for excitability targets in epilepsy models.
In a rat model of status epilepticus, ERK pathway activation couples to Kv4.2 phosphorylation and decreases its surface expression, suggesting a mechanism for altered intrinsic membrane excitability.
Lugo et al. (2008) studied this question.
