Abstract excerpt
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) sense extracellular protons and are involved in synaptic transmission and pain sensation. ASIC1a and ASIC3 are the ASIC subunits with the highest proton sensitivity. ASIC2a in contrast has low proton sensitivity but increases the variability of ASICs by forming heteromers with ASIC1a or ASIC3. ASICs are trimers and for the ASIC1a/2a heteromer it has been shown that subunits...
