Acid-sensing ion channels expression, identity and role in the excitability of the cochlear afferent neurons

Acid-sensing ion channels expression, identity and role in the excitability of the cochlear afferent neurons

Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are activated by an increase in the extracellular proton concentration. There are four genes (ASIC1-4) that encode six subunits, and they are involved in diverse neuronal functions, such as mechanosensation, learning and memory, nociception, and modulation of retina...
