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 ...

Kv7 and Kv11 channels in myometrial regulation. [PDF]
, 2013 Ion channels play a key role in defining myometrial contractility. Modulation of ion channel populations is proposed to underpin gestational changes in uterine contractility associated with the transition from uterine quiescence to active labour.

Annual Review of Biophysics, 2023 Mitochondria are involved in multiple cellular tasks, such as ATP synthesis, metabolism, metabolite and ion transport, regulation of apoptosis, inflammation, signaling, and inheritance of mitochondrial DNA. The majority of the correct functioning of mitochondria is based on the large electrochemical proton gradient, whose component, the inner ...

Role of the TRP Channels in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Development and Progression
Cells, 2021 The transient receptor potential channels (TRPs) have been related to several different physiologies that range from a role in sensory physiology (including thermo- and osmosensation) to a role in some pathologies like cancer.

BMJ, 1997 Ion channels are protein pores in the cell membrane that allow the passage of ions down their respective electrochemical gradients.1 The ubiquitous presence of ion channels among cells of unicellular and multicellular organisms suggests their importance in maintaining cellular integrity. Our understanding of the part that they play in disease has grown
