TASK-like potassium channels and oxygen sensing in the carotid body.
Chemosensing by type-1 cells of the carotid body involves a series of events which culminate in the calcium-dependent secretion of neurotransmitter substances which then excite afferent nerves. This response is mediated via membrane depolarisation and voltage-gated calcium entry. Studies utilising i...
