Abstract excerpt
TASK-3 generates a background K+ conductance which when inhibited by acidification depolarizes membrane potential and increases cell excitability. These channels sense pH by protonation of histidine residue H98, but recent evidence revealed that several other amino acid residues also contribute to TASK-3 pH sensitivity, suggesting that the pH sensitivity is determined by an intermolecular network. Here we use...
