Functional analysis in a model sea anemone reveals phylogenetic complexity and a role in cnidocyte discharge of DEG/ENaC ion channels
Phylogenetic analyses demonstrate a remarkable variety of the degenerin/epithelial Na+ channel (DEG/ENaC) superfamily in Cnidaria and discern an unexpected role for a proton-sensitive DEG/ENaC in N. vectensis cnidocyte discharge.
