Single-Channel Properties of Recombinant Acid-Sensitive Ion Channels Formed by the Subunits Asic2 and Asic3 from Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons Expressed in Xenopus Oocytes

The acid-sensitive ion channels known as ASIC are gated by external protons. A set of these channels is expressed in dorsal root ganglion neurons where they may participate in the transduction of mechanical and nociceptive stimuli. Here, we have examined the single-channel properties of channels for...
