Example sentences for: voltage-gated
How can you use “voltage-gated” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Tetraethylammonium is known as a pore-occluding blocker of voltage-gated potassium channels [ 1 ] , but it also blocks other cationic channels such as calcium-dependent K +channels [ 2 3 ] and the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor [ 4 ] . TEA at 0.1 to 10 mM also inhibits osmotic water flux through human AQP1 channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes, decreasing the net swelling rate in hypotonic saline by 30-40% as compared to AQP1-expressing oocytes not treated with TEA [ 5 ] . This blocking effect on osmotic water flux was demonstrated to involve AQP1 channels specifically by using site-directed mutagenesis (tyrosine 186 to phenylalanine) to generate a Y186F AQP1 channel that is insensitive to block by TEA, but retains sensitivity to block by mercury.
We examined the effects of 4-AP on cAMP, progesterone and estradiol production by PCG-2 after confirming that these cells express 4-AP sensitive voltage-gated K +currents similar to those in primary cells (see additional file 1).
To measure DHPR charge movements and to separate these charge movements from those produced by other voltage-gated channels, a) ionic currents were blocked; b) the linear component of the cell capacity was subtracted using a P/4 procedure and by analog compensation; and c) we used a pulse protocol that eliminated the immobilization-sensitive charge movements from voltage-gated Na +channels and presumably also from T-type Ca 2+channels.
This is in part because these channels regulate the cytoplasmic concentrations of K +, Ca 2+, and Na +ions [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ] . The diversity of voltage-gated K +channels and currents present in these "non-excitable" (non-muscle, non-nerve) cells is impressive.
When only the P-M2 region is used, the highest scores are with members of the voltage-gated K +channel family (Kv), and with members of a bacterial family of putative K +channels that have transmembrane segments quite similar to those of the Kv family.
