Physiologically relevant acid-sensing ion channel (ASIC) 2a/3 heteromers have a 1:2 stoichiometry
Abstract Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) sense extracellular protons and are involved in synaptic transmission and pain sensation. ASIC1a and ASIC3 are the ASIC subunits with the highest proton sensitivity. ASIC2a in contrast has low proton sensitivity but increases the variability of ASICs by for...
