Identification of a unique Ca(2+)-binding site in rat acid-sensing ion channel 3

Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) evolved to sense changes in extracellular acidity with the divalent cation calcium (Ca(2+)) as an allosteric modulator and channel blocker. The channel-blocking activity is most apparent in ASIC3, as removing Ca(2+) results in channel opening, with the site’s locati...
