The mammalian TRPC cation channels.
Transient Receptor Potential-Canonical (TRPC) channels are mammalian homologs of Transient Receptor Potential (TRP), a Ca(2+)-permeable channel involved in the phospholipase C-regulated photoreceptor activation mechanism in Drosophila. The seven mammalian TRPCs constitute a family of channels which have been proposed to function as store-operated as well as second messenger-operated channels in...
متن کاملPresynaptic HCN Channels Regulate Vesicular Glutamate Transport
The amount of neurotransmitter stored in synaptic vesicles determines postsynaptic quantal size and thus the strength of synaptic transmission. However, little is known about regulation of vesicular neurotransmitter uptake. In recordings from the calyx of Held, a giant mammalian glutamatergic synapse, we found that changes in presynaptic Na(+) concentration above and below a resting value of 13...
متن کاملATP-gated P2X cation-channels.
P2X receptors are ATP-gated cation channels with important roles in diverse pathophysiological processes. Substantial progress has been made in the last few years with the discovery of both subunit selective antagonists and modulators. The purpose of this brief review is to summarize the advances in the pharmacology of P2X receptors, with key properties presented in an easy to access format. Li...
متن کاملDivalent cation transport by VNUT DIVALENT CATION TRANSPORT BY VESICULAR NUCLEOTIDE TRANSPORTER
The vesicular nucleotide transporter (VNUT) is a secretory vesicle protein that is responsible for the vesicular storage and subsequent exocytosis of ATP (Sawada, K. et al., (2008) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 105, 11720-11724). Since VNUT actively transports ATP in a membrane potential (Δψ)-dependent manner irrespective of divalent cations such as Mg or Ca, VNUT recognizes free ATP as a trans...
متن کاملCation Channels: Homing in on the Elusive CAN Channels
The molecular identity of Ca(2+)-activated, non-selective (CAN) cation channels has been unclear, but a member of the TRP family, TRPM4, has now been shown to be a CAN channel without significant Ca(2+) permeability.
