Fatty acid regulation of voltage- and ligand-gated ion channel function
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2016-11-28)
Free fatty acids (FFA) are essential components of the cell, where they play a key role in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, and most particularly in cell membranes, where they are central actors in shaping the physicochemical ...
Marine Toxins Targeting Ion Channels
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2006-04)
This introductory minireview points out the importance of ion channels for cell communication. The basic concepts on the structure and function of ion channels triggered by membrane voltage changes, the so-called voltage-gated ...
Gating of two-pore domain K+ channels by extracellular pH
(Portland Press on behalf of The Biochemical Society, 2008)
Gating charge displacement in a monomeric voltage-gated proton (Hv1) channel
(National Academy of Sciences, 2018)
© 2018 National Academy of Sciences. All Rights Reserved. The voltage-gated proton (Hv1) channel, a voltage sensor and a conductive pore contained in one structural module, plays important roles in many physiological ...
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 ...
Tungsten oxide ion-gated phototransistors using ionic liquid and aqueous gating media
(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2019-07-24)
Ion-gated transistors employ ionic gating media (e.g. ionic liquids, polymer electrolytes, aqueous saline solutions) to modulate the density of the charge carriers in the transistor channel. Not only they operate at low ...
Voltage-controlled gating in a large conductance Ca2+-sensitive K(+)channel (hslo)
(NATL ACAD SCIENCES, 1997-05-13)
Large conductance calcium- and voltage-sensitive K+ (MaxiK) channels share properties of voltage- and ligand-gated ion channels. In voltage-gated channels, membrane depolarization promotes the displacement of charged ...
