The Role of Zinc in Modulating Acid-Sensing Ion Channel Function

The Role of Zinc in Modulating Acid-Sensing Ion Channel Function

Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are proton-gated, voltage-independent sodium channels widely expressed throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems. They are involved in synaptic plasticity, learning/memory, fear conditioning and pain. Zinc, an important trace metal in the body, contribut...
