Ion channel proteins are concerned with inorganic ion transport, which is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis and metabolism. Their structural and functional abnormalities are related to ...

Researchers have confirmed that mammalian BK ion channels regulate themselves using a “ball-and-chain” mechanism. A recent study by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine provides a detailed and accura ...

Ion channel proteins are found on all cell types and allow the passage of ions across cellular membranes. They are involved in a wide variety of biological processes and are implicated in many ...

Activating a protein called potassium channel Kv2.1 may help improve motor function in SMA, making it a potential SMA ...

Hence, ethanol enhancement of GIRK channel function was found with two different G-protein-coupled receptors and seemed independent of the extent of receptor occupancy for both types of receptors.

This process occurs through membrane protein complexes that provide necessary channels for the movement of proteins. In ...
