Hysteresis in voltage-gated channels [PDF]
Channels, 2016 Ion channels constitute a superfamily of membrane proteins found in all living creatures. Their activity allows fast translocation of ions across the plasma membrane down the ion's transmembrane electrochemical gradient, resulting in a difference in electrical potential across the plasma membrane, known as the membrane potential.

Potential roles of voltage-gated ion channel disruption in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex
Frontiers in Molecular NeuroscienceTuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a lynchpin disorder, as it results in overactive mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling, which has been implicated in a multitude of disease states.

Dual Regulation of Voltage-Sensitive Ion Channels by PIP2
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2012 Over the past 16 years, there has been an impressive number of ion channels shown to be sensitive to the major phosphoinositide in the plasma membrane, phosphatidilinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). Among them are voltage-gated channels, which are crucial

Comparison of Langevin and Markov channel noise models for neuronal signal generation
, 2009 The stochastic opening and closing of voltage-gated ion channels produces noise in neurons. The effect of this noise on the neuronal performance has been modelled using either approximate or Langevin model, based on stochastic differential equations or ...

Voltage-gated calcium channels and their auxiliary subunits: physiology and pathophysiology and pharmacology [PDF]
, 2016 Voltage-gated calcium channels are essential players in many physiological processes in excitable cells. There are three main subdivisions of calcium channel, defined by the pore-forming α1 subunit, the CaV 1, CaV 2 and CaV 3 channels.

Voltage gating in porin channels [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1987 Data from experiments in which porin channels are reconstituted into planar bilayer membranes are reviewed for their relevance to porin channel gating in vivo. Contradictory evidence concerning voltage gating indicates that the different results may stem from the variety of purification techniques employed.
