Polymodal TREK-1 regulation. TREK-1 is multiregulated by a variety of physical and chemical stimuli. TREK-1 possesses different protein partners such as AKAP150, β-COP, Mtap2, and sortilin. Sortilin interacts with TREK-1 an address it to the plasma membrane. Spadin is a synthetic peptide derived from sortilin which was shown to block TREK-1 with high affinity. Spadin antidepressant activity appears to be mediated through PI3K and Akt activation. TREK-1 is involved in numerous CNS pathologies such as depression, ischemia, epilepsy and pain.
