Their findings are published in Science Advances. Cys-loop receptors are ligand-gated ion channels with two domains connected by a short linker. The top domain is located extracellularly ...

Thus far, one antibody (BIL010t; Biosceptre) that targets a nonfunctional form of the ligand-gated ion channel P2X purinoceptor 7 has reached clinical trials for the treatment of basal cell carcinoma.

Ion channels are integral membrane protein assemblies that modulate the flow of ions into and out of a cell or organelle, leading to generation of electrical signals. Opening (gating) of ion ...
