Regulation of the human voltage-gated proton channel by membrane sterols
2026-08-22
Abstract excerpt
Cholesterol is a key component of eukaryotic cell membranes, promoting membrane stability and modulating the function of many membrane proteins, including ion channels. In our previous work using purified human voltage-gated proton channel proteins, we showed that cholesterol inhibits the hHv1 channel by altering the conformational dynamics of its S4 segment, the key element that senses membrane voltage to control...
