Researchers find blocking the KCNB2 gene can slow tumor growth, paving the way for next-gen treatments for childhood brain cancer.

In 2004, a research group at Peking University First Hospital discovered a mutation in the gene coding for a sodium-channel ...

KCNQ1 is a potassium ion channel that plays a crucial role in regulating the electrical activity of the heart. It is responsible for the cardiac I Ks current, which is essential for maintaining a ...

you have to have the right combination of ion channels and transporters." More information: Shridhar Sanghvi et al, Functional large-conductance calcium and voltage-gated potassium channels in ...

The kit's protocol eliminates the customary wash steps that introduce artificial variation and limit high-throughput automation. Current thallium-based potassium ion channel assays require multiple ...

Ion channels are integral membrane protein assemblies that modulate the flow of ions into and out of a cell or organelle, leading to generation of electrical signals. Opening (gating) of ion ...
