Characteristics of proteins coded by selected proton channel genes. Species for which the expressed gene product has been demonstrated by voltage clamp to function as a proton channel are in bold: human (Ramsey et al. 2006), mouse and Ciona (Sasaki et al. 2006), and sea urchin (personal communication, Y. Okamura). VSOP, voltage sensor domain-only protein. Identity with the human protein is from EMBL-EBI (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/es/cgi-bin/jobresults.cgi/needle). Some aliases are from UniProt (http://www.uniprot.org/). The isotopically averaged molecular weight (MW) of a monomer is given using Protein Calculator v. 3.3 (http://www.scripps.edu).
