Three small conductance calcium-activated potassium channel (SK) subunits have been cloned and found to preferentially form heteromeric channels when expressed in a heterologous expression system. The original cloning of the gene encoding intermediate (IKCa) was termed SK4 because high homology between subtypes. Recent immunovisualization suggests that IKCa is same subcellular compartments some neurons as SK subunits. Stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy super-resolution revealed...
The ability of three commercially available trap types to catch Lucilia (Diptera: Calliphoridae) blowflies was assessed on sheep farms in southwest England 2008. aim evaluate their relative value for the control ovine cutaneous myiasis (sheep blowfly strike) farms. There a highly significant difference between total number female caught per day by traps, with an Agrilure Trap (Agrimin Ltd, Brigg, U.K.) catching more than other (Rescue Disposable Fly Trap, Sterling International, Spokane,...
The gasotransmitter carbon monoxide (CO) regulates fluid and electrolyte movements across epithelial tissues. However, its action on anion channels is incompletely understood. Here, we investigate the direct of CO cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) by applying CO-releasing molecules (CO-RMs) to intracellular side excised inside-out membrane patches from cells heterologously expressing wild-type human CFTR. Addition increasing concentrations...
