Voltage-gated sodium channels

Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2015
Voltage-gated sodium channels play a key role in the transmission of sensory information about the status of organs in the periphery. Sensory fibers contain a heterogeneous yet specific distribution of voltage-gated sodium channel isoforms. Major efforts by industry and academic groups are underway to develop medicines that interrupt inappropriate ...

Voltage-gated sodium channels

Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2001
Increased knowledge of the molecular diversity of sodium channel alpha- and beta-subunits, and their distribution of expression have been highlights of the past year. The development of subtype-specific channel blockers remains elusive, but the discovery of selective inhibitors such as mu-conotoxins promises useful antagonists in the near future.

Voltage-gated proton channels in microglia

Progress in Neurobiology, 2001
Microglia, macrophages that reside in the brain, can express at least 12 different ion channels, including voltage-gated proton channels. The properties of H+ currents in microglia are similar to those in other phagocytes. Proton currents are elicited by depolarizing the membrane potential, but activation also depends strongly on both intracellular pH (

Mechanism of Voltage Gating in Potassium Channels

Science, 2012
Open and Shut Case Voltage-sensing domains (VSDs) control the activity of voltage-gated ion channels to regulate the ion flow that underlies nerve conduction. Structural and biophysical studies have provided insight into voltage gating; however, understanding has been hindered by the lack of a crystal structure of a fully closed ...

Voltage gating of ion channels

Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics, 1994
Voltage-gated ion channels are membrane proteins that play a central role in the propagation and transduction of cellular signals (Hille, 1992). Calcium ions entering cells through voltage-gated calcium channels serve as the trigger for neurotransmitter release, muscle contraction, and the release of hormones. Voltage-gated sodium channels initiate the

Voltage-Gated K Channels

Science's STKE, 2003
Ion channels and the electrical properties they confer on cells are involved in every human characteristic that distinguishes us from the stones in a field. Every perception, thought, movement, and heartbeat depends on electrical signals generated by the activity of ion channels.
