TRP channels at a glance.
The transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily consists of a diverse set of proteins whose primary function is to regulate the plasma membrane permeability of animal cells to a variety of ions. They are among the largest family of ion channels known, with representative members in many species right through from yeast to humans. The first member of the family to be identified, Drosophila me...
متن کاملCa2+-activated Cl- channels at a glance.
Cl channels are membrane proteins that are responsible for the passive flow of Cl into and out of the cell. The Ca-activated Cl channels (CaCCs) are attracting a lot of attention lately. The molecular identity of these channels remained elusive (for a review, see Hartzell et al., 2005) until anoctamin 1 and anoctamin 2 (in mammals ANO1 and ANO2, respectively; in Xenopus TMEM16A and TMEM16B, res...
متن کاملPeptide and Protein Delivery at a Glance
Peptide and protein drugs have found an important position in therapeutics. Recent advances in pharmaceutical biotechnology have led to an increase in the number of protein products in the market. As these therapeutic proteins and peptides are made available, it will be essential to formulate these drugs into safe and effective delivery systems. The twenty different naturally occurring amin...
متن کاملA Glance at Psychophysics Software Programs
Visual stimulation with precise control of stimulus has transformed the field of psychophysics since the introduction of personal computers. Luminance and chromatic features of stimulus, timing, and position of the stimulus are the main features that could be defined using programs written specifically for psychophysical experiments. In this manuscript, software used for the psychophysical expe...
متن کاملTRP channels.
The TRP (Transient Receptor Potential) superfamily of cation channels is remarkable in that it displays greater diversity in activation mechanisms and selectivities than any other group of ion channels. The domain organizations of some TRP proteins are also unusual, as they consist of linked channel and enzyme domains. A unifying theme in this group is that TRP proteins play critical roles in s...
