cX
|
concentration of ion species X |
pHi |
refers to the internal pH, either the luminal/intra-lysosomal pH in SSME recordings, or the cytosolic pH in APC |
pHo |
refers to the external pH: in SSME recordings the cytosolic pH; in APC recordings the luminal/intra-lysosomal pH |
I |
current, in SSME referring to the peak current, in patch-clamp to the steady-state current; depends on the ion species and the driving forces (ion gradients and voltage) |
Imax
|
maximum current, usually obtained from EC50 or IC50 fits |
Imin
|
minimum current, usually obtained from EC50 or IC50 fits |
pKa |
pK value for downregulation of TMEM175 in acidic environments, obtained from a pH dependent fit of the recorded peak currents, using equations that consider either a single (I = Imax/(1 + 10pKa−pH)) or two (I = Imax1/(1 + 10pKa1-pH) + Imax2/(1 + 10pKa2−pH)) pK values |
pKb |
pK value for downregulation of TMEM175 in alkaline environments, obtained from a pH dependent fit of the recorded peak currents, using I = Imax/(1 + 10pH-pKb) |
EC50
|
empirical half saturation constant for a dose response curve of an enhancer/activator, obtained from the fit using the equation I = Imax − (Imax − Imin)/(1 + (c/EC50)n) |
IC50
|
same as EC50, used for dose response curves of inhibitors |
n |
Hill coefficient, used in EC50 and IC50 fits |
PX
|
Permeability for ion species X |
