What Are Ion Channel Receptors? Ion channel receptors are usually multimeric proteins located in the plasma membrane. Each of these proteins arranges itself so that it forms a passageway or pore ...

In a new study, a team led by medical researchers at The Ohio State University has determined that these vesicles contain an ion channel—a protein that opens a corridor allowing electrical ...

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 ...

In a new study, a team led by medical researchers at The Ohio State University determined that these vesicles contain an ion channel -- a protein that opens a corridor allowing electrical charges ...

In 2004, a research group at Peking University First Hospital discovered a mutation in the gene coding for a sodium-channel ...

Many ion-channel physiologists study this phenomenon ... even when this area of the protein is extensively mutated. Postdoctoral researcher Nicole Godellas, who earned a BS in molecular and ...

In a new study, a team led by medical researchers at The Ohio State University determined that these vesicles contain an ion channel – a protein that opens a corridor allowing electrical charges ...

Our laboratory uses a combination of structural biology and biophysical techniques to discover how ion channels and membrane-embedded enzymes function at the atomic level. The proteins we study are ...

The Food and Drug Administration announced the approval of a new non-opioid pain medication this week, marking the first time ...

The three best examples of ion channel/receptor clustering in the nervous system are found at the synapse, the node of Ranvier, and the axon initial segment (AIS). In the case of the synapse, the ...
