Voltage- and ligand-gated ion channels form the molecular basis of cellular excitability. With >400 members and accounting for ∼1.5% of the human genome, ion channels are some of the most well studied of all proteins in heterologous expression systems. Yet, ion channels often exhibit unexpected properties in vivo because of their interaction with a variety of signaling/scaffolding proteins. Suc...

Ion channels are pore-forming proteins and their function is to facilitate the diffusion of ion across cell membranes by flow of ions down the electrochemical gradient. Voltage-gated ion channels are a class of transmembrane ion channels and are found throughout the body which allowed a rapid and coordinated depolarization in response to voltage change in excitable cells (Catterall, 2010). Rece...

In cells, ion channels are one of the most important classes of membrane proteins which allow inorganic ions to move across the membrane. A wide range of biological processes are involved and regulated by the opening and closing of ion channels. Ion channels can be classified into numerous classes and different types of ion channels exhibit different functions. Thus, the correct identification ...

Ion channels are integral membrane proteins that are critical for neuronal function. They form pores in the plasma membrane that allow certain ions to travel with their concentration gradient across the membrane. Those that open in response to a change in membrane potential are called voltage-gated ion channels. Channels that open in response to binding by a chemical signal or molecule are liga...

Ion channels represent a class of membrane spanning protein pores that mediate the flux of ions in a variety of cell types. To date, >400 ion channels have been cloned and characterized, and some of these channels have emerged as attractive drug targets. Several existing medications elicit their therapeutic effect through the modulation of ion channels, underscoring the importance of ion channe...

The entire concept of ion channels as molecular machines to gate ion traffic across the membrane has only recently been generally recognized, even though ion channels are found in almost all cells. Na+ and Ca2+ channels are the basis of excitability, and in the heart they generate the rhythm, coordinating and controlling cardiac contraction. Dysfunction of ion channels results in arrhythmias th...

Ion channels contribute to virtually all basic cellular processes, including such crucial ones for maintaining tissue homeostasis as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. The involvement of ion channels in regulation of programmed cell death, or apoptosis, has been known for at least three decades based on observation that classical blockers of ion channels can influence cell death rat...

Microglia are immunocompetent cells in the brain that have many similarities with macrophages of peripheral tissues. In normal adult brain, microglial cells are in a resting state, but they become activated during inflammation of the central nervous system, after neuronal injury, and in several neurological diseases. Patch-clamp studies of microglial cells in cell culture and in tissue slices d...

Mazzochi, C., D. J. Benos, and P. R. Smith. Interaction of epithelial ion channels with the actin-based cytoskeleton. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 291: F1113–F1122, 2006. First published August 22, 2006; doi:10.1152/ajprenal.00195.2006.—The interaction of ion channels with the actin-based cytoskeleton in epithelial cells not only maintains the polarized expression of ion channels within specific ...

Introduction: It has recently been suggested that the KATP channel subunits Kir6.x and BKCa channels exist in the endoplasmic reticulum of cardiomyocytes and neurons. Our previous studies showed the electrophysiological behavior of cation channels in the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) of rat hepatocytes. Therefore, we hypothesized that KATP channels and Ca2+-activated potassium channels m...
