Functional characterisation of Acid-Sensing Ion Channels in Glioblastoma stem cell lines

Typically, the micro-environment of a tumour has a slightly acidic pH. It it therefore important to characterize acid sensors, like Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs), in tumor cells. In our most…

Functional characterisation of an important heteromeric Acid-Sensing Ion Channels of the PNS

Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are proton-gated ion channels that are also expressed in the peripheral nervous system where they detect painful acidosis. ASICs assemble as homo- or heterotrimers.…
