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.
Using the conserved K +-channel pore as a probe, I screened the entire A. gambiae genome for the presence of voltage-gated K +channels, Ca 2+-activated K +channels and inward rectifier K +channels, as all these channels possess a homologous pore domain.
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.
Estradiol has been reported to affect K +channel expression and gating in smooth muscle [ 49 50 51 52 53 ] . The data presented here do not address directly the potential for estradiol modulation of voltage-gated K +channel expression or activity in GC.
Measurements of mRNA and protein made in many laboratories using diverse methodologies have identified approximately 40 genes that are up-regulated and 25 down-regulated after peripheral nerve injury [ 3 5 6 ] . These regulated genes include members of several classes: G protein coupled receptors, ligand- and voltage-gated ion channels, receptor tyrosine kinases, growth factors, cytokines, neuropeptides, cell cytoskeletal genes, cell surface/extracellular matrix genes, and a miscellaneous group of enzymes.
