Mechanism of acid influx in the carotid body type I cell
- Abstract:
-
Type I cells of the carotid body play a major role in acid chemoreception. Extracellular acidosis causes membrane depolarisation, Ca2+ influx and neurosecretion in the type I cell. A previous study has shown that pHi in the type I cell is very sensitive to changes of pHo, and intracellular acidification is a key step in the signalling pathway for acid chemoreception. This thesis investigates the mechanism responsible for mediating acid influx during isocap...
