Neurological channelopathies.
Ion channels are membrane-bound proteins that perform key functions in virtually all human cells. Such channels are critically important for the normal function of the excitable tissues of the nervous system, such as muscle and brain. Until relatively recently it was considered that dysfunction of ion channels in the nervous system would be incompatible with life. However, an increasing number ...

متن کاملEpisodic Neurological Channelopathies
Inherited episodic neurological disorders are often due to mutations in ion channels or their interacting proteins, termed channelopathies. There are a wide variety of such disorders, from those causing paralysis, to extreme pain, to ataxia. A common theme in these is alteration of action potential properties or synaptic transmission and a resulting increased propensity of the resulting tissue ...
متن کاملPotassium Channelopathies of Epilepsy
Channelopathies are inherited genetic changes in ion channel genes that generate a disease. Given the pivotal role of voltage-dependent potassium channels in moderating neuronal excitability, it is not surprising that these channels are well represented among the channelopathies contributing to epilepsy. Voltage-dependent potassium channels are regarded as the “initial responders” that shape an...
متن کاملPotassium Channelopathies and Gastrointestinal Ulceration
Potassium channels and transporters maintain potassium homeostasis and play significant roles in several different biological actions via potassium ion regulation. In previous decades, the key revelations that potassium channels and transporters are involved in the production of gastric acid and the regulation of secretion in the stomach have been recognized. Drugs used to treat peptic ulcerati...
