P 44: The Role of HCN Channels in T Cell Function
Ion channels play a major role in the regulation of T cell function in health and disease. In a computer-based model, established to simulate T cells’ membrane potential (VM) generation, we discovered a discrepancy between the simulation and patch-clamp recordings. The predicted VM was more hyperpolarized than the measured VM, indicating that a yet unknown, depolarizing ion current might ...
متن کاملHCN channels and heart rate.
Hyperpolarization and Cyclic Nucleotide (HCN) -gated channels represent the molecular correlates of the "funny" pacemaker current (I(f)), a current activated by hyperpolarization and considered able to influence the sinus node function in generating cardiac impulses. HCN channels are a family of six transmembrane domain, single pore-loop, hyperpolarization activated, non-selective cation channe...

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 کاملHCN Channels Modulators: The Need for Selectivity
Hyperpolarization-activated, cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels, the molecular correlate of the hyperpolarization-activated current (If/Ih), are membrane proteins which play an important role in several physiological processes and various pathological conditions. In the Sino Atrial Node (SAN) HCN4 is the target of ivabradine, a bradycardic agent that is, at the moment, the only drug which s...
