Modulation of Ion Channels by Phosphorylation and Second Messengers

H Reuter

Ion channels are integral membrane proteins that regulate ion fluxes through the membrane;when channels are open, ions can move down their respective electrochemical gradients. The transitions between open-closed conformations, called gating, are regulated either by a change in membrane potential or by binding of ligands. Channel gating as well as channel availability can be modulated by biochemical reactions, such as phosporylation of the channel protein.
