Ion channel proteins are found on all cell types and allow the passage of ions across cellular membranes. They are involved in a wide variety of biological processes and are implicated in many ...

In a new study, a team led by medical researchers at The Ohio State University determined that these vesicles contain an ion channel -- a protein that opens a corridor allowing electrical charges ...

Novartis AG has synthesized new sodium channel protein type 5 subunit alpha (SCN5A; Nav1.5) blockers reported to be useful for the treatment of heart failure, long QT syndrome, hypertrophic ...

A study in the journal Pharmaceuticals has uncovered how specific genetic mutations in α2δ-1 and α2δ-3 proteins linked to ...

Proteins hang around, literally gumming up the works and preventing neurons from doing their job. Voltage-gated calcium channels cannot form properly when cacophony is mutated, preventing fusion of ...
