In neurons, intracellular calcium signals have crucial roles in activating neurotransmitter
release and in triggering alterations in neuronal function. Calmodulin has been widely …

The intrinsic electrical properties and the synaptic input-output relationships of neurons are
governed by the action of voltage-dependent ion channels. The localization of specific …

Voltage-gated ion channels have to be at the right place in the right number to endow
individual neurons with their specific character. Their biophysical properties together with …

▪ Abstract The intrinsic electrical properties of neurons are shaped in large part by the action
of voltage-gated ion channels. Molecular cloning studies have revealed a large family of ion …

Since the first discovery of Kvβ-subunits more than 15 years ago, many more ancillary Kv
channel subunits were characterized, for example, KChIPs, KCNEs, and BKβ-subunits. The …

Potassium (K+) channel function is fundamental to many physiological processes. However,
components and mechanisms regulating the activity of plant K+ channels remain poorly …

Even though sequencing of the mammalian genome has led to the discovery of a large
number of ionic channel genes, identification of the molecular determinants of cellular …

Shal-type (Kv4. x) K+ channels are expressed in a variety of tissue, with particularly high
levels in the brain and heart. These channels are the primary subunits that contribute to …

The somatodendritic subthreshold A-type K+ current (ISA) in nerve cells is a critical
component of the ensemble of voltage-gated ionic currents that determine somatodendritic …

A‐type potassium channels regulate neuronal firing frequency and the back‐propagation of
action potentials (APs) into dendrites of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurones. Recent …
