A putative cation channel, NCA-1, and a novel protein, UNC-80, transmit neuronal activity in C. elegans.
Voltage-gated cation channels regulate neuronal excitability through selective ion flux. NALCN, a member of a protein family that is structurally related to the alpha1 subunits of voltage-gated sodium/calcium channels, was recently shown to regulate the resting membrane potentials by mediating sodiu...
