Function and phylogeny support the independent evolution of acid-sensing ion channels in the Placozoa
2022-06-30
Abstract excerpt
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are proton-gated cation channels that are part of the Deg/ENaC ion channel family, which also includes neuropeptide-, bile acid-, and mechanically-gated channels. Despite sharing common tertiary and quaternary structures, strong sequence divergence within the Deg/ENaC family has made it difficult to resolve their phylogenetic relationships, and by extension, whether channels with...
