Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) 2 and 4.2 are expressed in the retina of the adult zebrafish
(Springer Verlag, 2015)
Ion channels from the Bacillus subtilis plasma membrane incorporated into planar lipid bilayers
(1992)
Fusion of Bacillus subtilis plasma membrane vesicles with planar lipid bilayers induced the appearance of discrete current fluctuations characteristic of ion channels. These channels showed a wide range of conductances and ...
Ion channels from chemosensory olfactory neurons
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers, 1988)
The olfactory epithelium has the ability to respond to a large number of volatile compounds of small molecular weight. Ultimately, such a property lies on a specialized type of neuron, the olfactory receptor cell. In the ...
Counting channels: a tutorial guide on ion channel fluctuation analysis
(American Physiological Society, 2002)
Ion channels open and close in a stochastic fashion, following the laws of
probability. However, distinct from tossing a coin or a die, the probability of
finding the channel closed or open is not a fixed number but can ...
Phylogenetic conservation of protein-lipid motifs in pentameric ligand-gated ion channels
(Elsevier Science, 2015-07)
Using the crosstalk between the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and its lipid microenvironment as a paradigm, this short overview analyzes the occurrence of structural motifs which appear not only to be conserved ...
Blocking of human T lymphocyte activation by channel antagonists
(1989)
It has been established that early events in lymphocyte activation involve a rise in intracellular Ca++ as well as changes in the flux of other ions. Although a Ca++ channel has been postulated to participate in the early ...
Peripheral mechanobiology of touch—studies on vertebrate cutaneous sensory corpuscles
(MDPI AG, 2020-08-27)
The vertebrate skin contains sensory corpuscles that are receptors for different qualities of mechanosensitivity like light brush, touch, pressure, stretch or vibration. These specialized sensory organs are linked anatomically ...
A change in the ion selectivity of ligand-gated ion channels provides a mechanism to switch behavior.
(Public Library Of Science, 2015-09)
Behavioral output of neural networks depends on a delicate balance between excitatory and inhibitory synaptic connections. However, it is not known whether network formation and stability is constrained by the sign of ...
