Abstract excerpt
The signalling characteristics of the Zinc-Activated Channel (ZAC), a member of the Cys-loop receptor (CLR) superfamily, are presently poorly elucidated. The ZACN polymorphism c.454G>A encoding for the Thr128Ala variation in ZAC is found in extremely high allele frequencies across ethnicities. In this, the first study of ZAC in Xenopus oocytes by TEVC electrophysiology, ZACThr128 and ZACAla128 exhibited largely...
