The GRIN genes encoding N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor(NMDAR)subunits are remarkably intolerant to variation.Many pathogenic NMDAR variants result in their protein misfolding,inefficient assembly,reduced surface expres...
BACKGROUND Paramyotonia congenita(PMC)stands as a rare sodium channelopaty of skeletal muscle,initially identified by Eulenburg.The identification of PMC often relies on electromyography(EMG),a diagnostic technique.Th...

Small-and intermediate-conductance Ca^(2+)-activated K^(+)(K_(Ca)2.x/K_(Ca)3.1 also called SK/IK)channels are gated exclusively by intracellular Ca^(2+).The Ca^(2+)binding protein calmodulin confers sub-micromolar Ca^...
Among inherited cardiac conditions,a special place is kept by cardiomyopathies(CMPs)and channelopathies(CNPs),which pose a substantial healthcare burden due to the complexity of the therapeutic management and cause ea...
Connexins and pannexins are two protein families that play an important role in cellular communication. Pannexin 1 (PANX1), one of the members of pannexin family, is a channel protein. It is glycosylated and forms thr...
To foster communication and interactions amongst international scholars and scientists in the field of ion channel research, the 6 th International Ion Channel Conference(IICC-2017) was held between June 23–27, 2017 ...
Voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels are essential for the rapid upstroke of action potentials and the propa- gation of electrical signals in nerves and muscles. Defects of Nav channels are associated with a variety ...
Early repolarization is a well-described,common electrocardiographic variant.It was initially felt to be benign,but in the last twenty years a suggested a link between specific types of early repolarization and sudden...
