Pannexin Channel Inhibition [PDF]

Circulation Research, 2018
More than 50 years after spironolactone has come on the market its mechanism of action continues to expand. In this issue of Circulation Research , Good et al1 document the discovery that spironolactone is not only an inhibitor of the mineralocorticoid receptor but also inhibits pannexin 1 channels.

Roles of Pannexin-1 Channels in Inflammatory Response through the TLRs/NF-Kappa B Signaling Pathway Following Experimental Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in Rats

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017
Background: Accumulating evidence suggests that neuroinflammation plays a critical role in early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Pannexin-1 channels, as a member of gap junction proteins located on the plasma membrane, releases ATP ...

Connexin36 knockout mice display increased sensitivity to pentylenetetrazol-induced seizure-like behaviors [PDF]

, 2010
Large-scale synchronous firing of neurons during seizures is modulated by electrotonic coupling between neurons via gap junctions. To explore roles for connexin36 (Cx36) gap junctions in seizures, we examined the seizure threshold of connexin36 knockout (

Pannexin 1 and Pannexin 3 Channels Regulate Skeletal Muscle Myoblast Proliferation and Differentiation [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2014
Pannexins constitute a family of three glycoproteins (Panx1, -2, and -3) forming single membrane channels. Recent work demonstrated that Panx1 is expressed in skeletal muscle and involved in the potentiation of contraction. However, Panxs functions in skeletal muscle cell differentiation, and proliferation had yet to be assessed.

Pannexin1 stabilizes synaptic plasticity and is needed for learning. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Pannexin 1 (Panx1) represents a class of vertebrate membrane channels, bearing significant sequence homology with the invertebrate gap junction proteins, the innexins and more distant similarities in the membrane topologies and pharmacological ...

The biochemistry and function of pannexin channels

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2013
Three family members compose the pannexin family of channel-forming glycoproteins (Panx1, Panx2 and Panx3). Their primary function is defined by their capacity to form single-membrane channels that are regulated by post-translational modifications, channel intermixing, and sub-cellular expression profiles.

Synaptic Scaffolds, Ion Channels and Polyamines in Mouse Photoreceptor Synapses: Anatomy of a Signaling Complex

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021
Synaptic signaling complexes are held together by scaffold proteins, each of which is selectively capable of interacting with a number of other proteins.

Kinetics of extracellular ATP in mastoparan 7-activated human erythrocytes [PDF]

, 2013
Background: The peptide mastoparan 7 (MST7) stimulated ATP release in human erythrocytes. We explored intraand extracellular processes governing the time-dependent accumulation of extracellular ATP (i.e., ATPe kinetics).
