Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are Na+-permeable ion channels activated by protons
and predominantly expressed in the nervous system. ASICs act as pH sensors leading to …

Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are mainly proton-gated cation channels that are
activated by pH drops and nonproton ligands. They are part of the degenerin/epithelial …

Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are proton-gated, voltage-independent sodium channels
widely expressed throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems. They are involved …

Social dominance is essential for maintaining a stable society and has both positive and
negative impacts on social animals, including humans. However, the regulatory …

Cocaine use followed by withdrawal induces synaptic changes in nucleus accumbens
(NAc), which are thought to underlie subsequent drug-seeking behaviors and relapse …

Extracellular pH changes may constitute significant signals for neuronal communication.
During synaptic transmission, changes in pH in the synaptic cleft take place. Its role in the …

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is well-known as a universal source of energy in living cells.
Less known is that this molecule has a variety of important signaling functions: it activates a …

Dysregulation in glutamatergic receptors and transporters has been found to mediate drugs
of abuse, including morphine. Among glutamate receptors, ionotropic glutamate receptors …

Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) have an important influence on human physiology and
pathology. They are members of the degenerin/epithelial sodium channel family. Four genes …

Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs), members of the degenerin/epithelial Na+ channel
superfamily, are broadly distributed in the mammalian nervous system where they play …
