Abstract excerpt
The acid-sensing ion channel 1a (ASIC1a) is a proton-gated cation channel enriched in the mammalian brain. Recent studies suggest its diverse roles in ischemic acidosis, neurodegenerative diseases, and cognitive processes. Phenylketonuria (PKU) is the most commonly inherited defect in amino acid metabolism. Many facts make ASIC1a appear to be highly related to PKU. In this study, we explored the effect of PKU on...
