Abstract excerpt
We tested the hypothesis that key residues in a putative intraluminal loop contribute to determination of ion permeation through the intracellular Ca(2+) release channel (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP(3)Rs)) that is gated by the second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP(3)). To accomplish this, we mutated residues within the putative pore forming region of the channel and analyzed the...
