Germline pathogenic variants in checkpoint kinase 2 (CHEK2) are associated with a moderately increased risk of breast cancer (BC). The spectrum clinicopathologic features and genetics these tumors has not been fully established.
GABAergic signaling from amacrine cells (ACs) is a fundamental aspect of visual signal processing in the inner retina. We have previously shown that nitric oxide (NO) can elicit release GABA independently activation voltage-gated Ca2+ channels cultured retinal ACs. This voltage-independent quantal relies on influx mechanism with pharmacological characteristics consistent involvement transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) TRPC4 and/or TRPC5. To determine identity these channels, we...
