Physiology and Pathophysiology of ClC-K/barttin Channels
ClC-K channels form a subgroup of anion channels within the ClC family of anion transport proteins. They are expressed predominantly in the kidney and in the inner ear, and are necessary for NaCl resorption in the loop of Henle and for K+ secretion by the stria vascularis. Subcellular distribution as well as the function of these channels are tightly regulated by an accessory subunit, barttin. ...
متن کاملFrom tonus to tonicity: physiology of CLC chloride channels.
Chloride channels are involved in a multitude of physiologic processes ranging from basal cellular functions such as cell volume regulation and acidification of intracellular vesicles to more specialized mechanisms such as vectorial transepithelial transport and regulation of cellular excitability. This plethora of functions is accomplished by numerous functionally highly diverse chloride chann...
متن کاملPhysiology and pathophysiology of canonical transient receptor potential channels.
The existence of a mammalian family of TRPC ion channels, direct homologues of TRP, the visual transduction channel of flies, was discovered during 1995-1996 as a consequence of research into the mechanism by which the stimulation of the receptor-Gq-phospholipase Cbeta signaling pathway leads to sustained increases in intracellular calcium. Mammalian TRPs, TRPCs, turned out to be nonselective, ...
متن کاملPhysiology and Pathophysiology of CLC-1: Mechanisms of a Chloride Channel Disease, Myotonia
The CLC-1 chloride channel, a member of the CLC-channel/transporter family, plays important roles for the physiological functions of skeletal muscles. The opening of this chloride channel is voltage dependent and is also regulated by protons and chloride ions. Mutations of the gene encoding CLC-1 result in a genetic disease, myotonia congenita, which can be inherited as an autosmal dominant (Th...
متن کاملClC Channels
It's a truism that structures are helpful for mechanistic understanding of protein function, and nowhere is this dictum better illustrated than with ClC-type Cl Ϫ channels , a large molecular family found in virtually every type of cell in every biological niche. These channels, first observed over 20 yr ago (White and Miller, 1979; Miller, 1982), are now known from a barrage of knockout studie...
