Chloride channels and antiport mechanisms are pivotal for maintaining cellular ion homeostasis and regulating physiological processes such as muscle contraction, epithelial fluid transport and ...
In the cells of the Arabidopsis plant, exposure to sodium chloride (NaCl) induces the movement (translocation) of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) tagged chloride channel, GFP-AtCLCf, from the ...
A new study by University of Iowa researchers finds that rare lung cells known as pulmonary ionocytes facilitate the absorption of water and salt from the airway surface. This function is exactly the ...
