Ca2herkät
Ca2herkät, also known as calcium-activated chloride channels, are a class of ion channels that are activated by an increase in intracellular calcium concentration. These channels play a crucial role in various physiological processes, including muscle contraction, neurotransmission, and cell volume regulation. Ca2herkät are primarily found in excitable cells, such as muscle cells and neurons, where they contribute to the generation and propagation of electrical signals.
The structure of Ca2herkät consists of a pore-forming domain and a regulatory domain. The pore-forming domain
Ca2herkät are inhibited by various factors, including extracellular chloride concentration, pH, and the presence of certain
Mutations in the genes encoding Ca2herkät have been linked to several diseases, including myotonia congenita, a
In summary, Ca2herkät are calcium-activated chloride channels that play a vital role in various physiological processes.
