Biophysical Chemistry, 2010 The interpretation electrical phenomena in biomembranes is usually based on the assumption that the experimentally found discrete ion conduction events are due to a particular class of proteins called ion channels while the lipid membrane is considered ...

Thorax, 2013 Effective therapies for the 10% of patients with 'severe' asthma remain elusive, while other pulmonary diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis are currently untreatable. Many cellular processes rely heavily on signals delivered by changes in the intracellular-free Ca(2+) concentration, in many cases relying on Ca(2+) influx from the ...

Diabetologia, 1992 Insulin secretion by the pancreatic Beta cell is dependent upon transmembrane ion fluxes gated by the ATP-regulated potassium channel and the voltage regulated, L-type calcium channel. This work group examined major recent advances in the structure and modulation of ion channels and how those advances may pertain to the physiology of insulin secretion ...

Human Molecular Genetics, 2002 Ion channels serve many functions apart from electrical signal transduction: chemical signalling (Ca(2+) as a second messenger), transepithelial transport, regulation of cytoplasmic or vesicular ion concentration and pH, and regulation of cell volume. Therefore, ion channel dysfunction can cause diseases in many tissues.

Exploring the Two Coupled Conformational Changes That Activate the Munc18-1/Syntaxin-1 Complex
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021 Calcium-dependent synaptic vesicle exocytosis is mediated by SNARE complex formation. The transition from the Munc18-1/syntaxin-1 complex to the SNARE complex is catalyzed by the Munc13-1 MUN domain and involves at least two conformational changes ...

Ion Channel Pharmacology [PDF]
Neurotherapeutics, 2007 Because ion channels are involved in many cellular processes, drugs acting on ion channels have long been used for the treatment of many diseases, especially those affecting electrically excitable tissues. The present review discusses the pharmacology of voltage-gated and neurotransmitter-gated ion channels involved in neurologic diseases, with ...

Neurobiology of Disease, 2023 SCN1A gain-of-function variants are associated with early onset developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) that possess distinct clinical features compared to Dravet syndrome caused by SCN1A loss-of-function.

Multiple Thresholds in a Model System of Noisy Ion Channels [PDF]
, 2006 Voltage-activated ion channels vary randomly between open and closed states, influenced by the membrane potential and other factors. Signal transduction is enhanced by noise in a simple ion channel model.
