Roles for Countercharge in the Voltage Sensor Domain of Ion Channels
Voltage-gated ion channels share a common structure typified by peripheral, voltage sensor domains. Their S4 segments respond to alteration in membrane potential with translocation coupled to ion permeation through a central pore domain.

Genetic Variants in <i>SDC3</i>, <i>KCNA2</i>, <i>KCNK1</i>, <i>KCNK16,</i> and <i>Heat Shock Transcription Factor-1</i> Genes: An Exploratory Analysis Supporting the Piezo2 Channelopathy Hypothesis in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Onset. [PDF]
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a multisystem progressive neurodegenerative disease. A recent theory of ALS onsetting pathogenesis proposed that the initiating primary damage is an acquired irreversible intrafusal proprioceptive terminal PIEZO2 ...

BackgroundAmong rare channelopathies BrS patients are at high risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). SCN5A mutations are found in a quarter of patients. Other rare gene mutations including SCN1B have been implicated to BrS.

Sepsis induced channelopathy in skeletal muscles is associated with expression of non selective channels [PDF]
Skeletal muscles (similar to 50% of the body weight) are affected during acute and late sepsis and represent one sepsis associate organ dysfunction. Cell membrane changes have been proposed to result from a channelopathy of yet unknown cause associated ...
