Highlights

•Potassium (K+) channels are key regulators of cell excitability in several tissues.

•A dysregulation of K+ channels is associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

•The role of K+ channels in AD is not completely elucidated.

•Understanding their functions will be helpful for clarifying AD pathogenesis.

•Modulating K+ channel expression should be useful for developing novel drugs.
