Acid-sensing ion channels: dual function proteins for chemo-sensing and mechano-sensing

Abstract Background Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) are a group of amiloride-sensitive ligand-gated ion channels belonging to the family of degenerin/epithelial sodium channels. ASICs are predominantly expressed in both the peripheral and central nervous system and have been characterized as poten...
