TRPV4, TRPC1, and TRPP2 assemble to form a flow-sensitive heteromeric channel [PDF]

, 2014
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, a superfamily of ion channels, can be divided into 7 subfamilies, including TRPV, TRPC, TRPP, and 4 others. Functional TRP channels are tetrameric complexes consisting of 4 pore-forming subunits.

CXCL12-induced neurotoxicity critically depends on NMDA receptor-gated and L-type Ca2+ channels upstream of p38 MAPK. [PDF]

, 2016
BackgroundThe chemokine receptor CXCR4 (CD184) and its natural ligand CXCL12 contribute to many physiological processes, including decisions about cell death and survival in the central nervous system.

Error correction due to background subtraction in ratiometric calcium measurements with CCD camera

Heliyon, 2020
Background: Ca2+ plays an important role in many physiological processes and an accurate study of these signals is important. In modern fluorescence microscopy, a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera is widely deployed for calcium imaging.

In vivo spatiotemporal control of voltage-gated ion channels by using photoactivatable peptidic toxins

Nature Communications, 2022
Photoactivable toxins targeting ion channels have great potential to control cell activity. Here the authors report HwTxIV-Nvoc, a UV light-cleavable and photoactivatable peptide that targets voltage-gated sodium channels; they validate this in cells ...

Redox Regulation of Mitochondrial Potassium Channels Activity

Antioxidants
Redox reactions exert a profound influence on numerous cellular functions with mitochondria playing a central role in orchestrating these processes. This pivotal involvement arises from three primary factors: (1) the synthesis of reactive oxygen species (

TRPM Family Channels in Cancer

Pharmaceuticals, 2018
Members of the TRPM (“Melastatin”) family fall into the subclass of the TRP channels having varying permeability to Ca2+ and Mg2+, with three members of the TRPM family being chanzymes, which contain C-terminal enzyme domains.

A Conservative Finite Difference Scheme for Poisson-Nernst-Planck Equations [PDF]

, 2013
A macroscopic model to describe the dynamics of ion transport in ion channels is the Poisson-Nernst-Planck(PNP) equations. In this paper, we develop a finite-difference method for solving PNP equations, which is second-order accurate in both space and ...

Simulation and calculation of the contribution of hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channels to action potentials [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2016
The hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channel, which mediates the influx of cations, has an important role in action potential generation.

Consequences of somatic mutations of GIRK1 detected in primary malign tumors on expression and function of G-protein activated, inwardly rectifying, K+ channels

Frontiers in Oncology, 2022
A search in the GDC Data Portal revealed 304 documented somatic mutations of the KCNJ3 gene in primary tumors (out of 10.202 cases). Most affected tumor types were carcinomas from uterus, skin and lung, while breast cancer exerted the lowest number of ...

Human sperm ion channel (dys)function:implications for fertilization [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND: Intensive research on sperm ion channels has identified members of several ion channel families in both mouse and human sperm. Gene knock-out studies have unequivocally demonstrated the importance of the calcium and potassium conductances in ...
