Acid-Sensing Ion Channels
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter synthesized from choline and acetyl coenzyme A. It is localized in large reticular formation neurons, and is the chemical mediator in the synapse of a motor endplate. The electrical signal of the motor nerve terminal causes release of many packets of acetylcholine. The packets are released into the synaptic cleft, where receptors in the postjunctional membran...
متن کاملSensing with TRP channels.
Drosophila melanogaster flies carrying the trp (transient receptor potential) mutation are rapidly blinded by bright light, because of the absence of a Ca2+-permeable ion channel in their photoreceptors. The identification of the trp gene and the search for homologs in yeast, flies, worms, zebrafish and mammals has led to the discovery of a large superfamily of related cation channels, named TR...
متن کاملStimuli-Responsive Assemblies for Sensing Applications
Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm)-based hydrogels and hydrogel particles (microgels) have been extensively studied since their discovery a number of decades ago. While their utility seems to have no limit, this feature article is focused on their development and application for sensing small molecules, macromolecules, and biomolecules. We highlight hydrogel/microgel-based photonic materials...
متن کاملOxygen sensing with ion channels
pAper type 290 Channels Volume 8 Issue 4 AutoCommentAry A decrease in arterial O 2 pressure (pO 2) elicits a peripheral chemosensory reflex that increases ventilation and sympathetic nerve activity. This reflex is initiated at the carotid body glomus (Type 1) cells where the reduced pO 2 alters the activities of various ion channels and causes cell depolarization. The depolarization opens the v...
متن کاملAcid-sensing ion channels in gastrointestinal function
Gastric acid is of paramount importance for digestion and protection from pathogens but, at the same time, is a threat to the integrity of the mucosa in the upper gastrointestinal tract and may give rise to pain if inflammation or ulceration ensues. Luminal acidity in the colon is determined by lactate production and microbial transformation of carbohydrates to short chain fatty acids as well a...
