Acid-Sensing Ion Channels as Potential Therapeutic Targets in Neurodegeneration and Neuroinflammation [PDF]
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are a family of proton-sensing channels that are voltage insensitive, cation selective (mostly permeable to Na+), and nonspecifically blocked by amiloride. Derived from 5 genes (ACCN1–5), 7 subunits have been identified,

Distinct roles for two Caenorhabditis elegans acid-sensing ion channels in an ultradian clock. [PDF]
Biological clocks are fundamental to an organism's health, controlling periodicity of behaviour and metabolism. Here, we identify two acid-sensing ion channels, with very different proton sensing properties, and describe their role in an ultradian clock,

Voltage-clamp fluorometry for advancing mechanistic understanding of ion channel mechanisms with a focus on acid-sensing ion channels. [PDF]
Voltage-clamp fluorometry (VCF) has revolutionized the study of ion channels by combining electrophysiology with fluorescence spectroscopy. VCF allows ion channel researchers to link dynamic structural changes, measured in real time, to function.

Activating Acid-Sensing Ion Channels with Photoacid Generators. [PDF]
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs), present in both central and peripheral neurons, respond to changes in extracellular protons. They play important roles in many symptoms and diseases, such as pain, ischemic stroke and neurodegenerative diseases. Herein,

Previously, we have characterized the capsaicin-insensitive low pH-sensitive (caps−lpH+) subtype of small-sized nociceptive dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons that express acid-sensing ion channels, T-type Ca2+ channels, and have isolectin B4-negative ...

Determinants of ion selectivity in ASIC1a- and ASIC2a-containing acid-sensing ion channels. [PDF]
Trimeric acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) contribute to neuronal signaling by converting extracellular acidification into excitatory sodium currents. Previous work with homomeric ASIC1a implicates conserved leucine (L7') and consecutive glycine-alanine ...

Ion Channel Genes in Painful Neuropathies
Neuropathic pain (NP) is a typical symptom of peripheral nerve disorders, including painful neuropathy. The biological mechanisms that control ion channels are important for many cell activities and are also therapeutic targets.
