Expression and Localization of TREK-1 K <sup>+</sup> Channels in Human Odontoblasts
1 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
During tooth development, odontoblasts are the cells that form dentin and possibly mediate early stages of sensory processing in teeth. It is suggested that ion channels assist in these events. Indeed, mechanosensitive potassium currents, transducing mechanical stimuli into electrical cell signals, have been previously recorded in the human odontoblast cell membrane. Here, we show by RT-PCR that the...
