Measurement of Ensemble TRPV1 Ion Channel Currents Using Droplet Bilayers
Electrophysiological characterization of ion channels is useful for elucidation of channel function as well as quantitative assessment of pharmaceutical effects on ion channel conductance. We used droplet bilayers to measure ensemble ion channel currents from membrane preparations made from TRPV1-expressing HEK cells. Conductance measurements showed rectification, activation by acid and capsaic...
متن کاملIon Conduction through the hERG Potassium Channel
The inward rectifier voltage-gated potassium channel hERG is of primary importance for the regulation of the membrane potential of cardiomyocytes. Unlike most voltage-gated K(+)-channels, hERG shows a low elementary conductance at physiological voltage and potassium concentration. To investigate the molecular features underlying this unusual behavior, we simulated the ion conduction through the...
متن کاملDifferential Effects of Ginsenoside Metabolites on HERG K+ Channel Currents
The human ether-a-go-go-related gene (HERG) cardiac K(+) channels are one of the representative pharmacological targets for development of drugs against cardiovascular diseases such as arrhythmia. Panax ginseng has been known to exhibit cardioprotective effects. In a previous report we demonstrated that ginsenoside Rg3 regulates HERG K(+) channels by decelerating deactivation. However, little i...
متن کاملAn evidence for a potassium channel in endoplasmic reticulum based on single channel recording in bilayer lipid membrane
Introduction Numerous studies have demonstrated the presence of potassium selective channels in membranes internal organelles. These channels are essential to a large variety of cellular processes including intracellular 2+ a signaling, protein recycling, charge neutralization and cell protection. In contrast to the sarcoplasmic reticulum + here potassium channels have been clearly ...
متن کاملUltrasound modulates ion channel currents.
Transcranial focused ultrasound (US) has been demonstrated to stimulate neurons in animals and humans, but the mechanism of this effect is unknown. It has been hypothesized that US, a mechanical stimulus, may mediate cellular discharge by activating mechanosensitive ion channels embedded within cellular membranes. To test this hypothesis, we expressed potassium and sodium mechanosensitive ion c...
