Figure 6. PcTx1 inhibits ASIC1a/2a heteromers in rat cortical neurons.

Figure 6

(a) Representative current trace showing the inhibition of ASICs by PcTx1 at conditioning pH 6.95. ASICs were activated with pH 6.0 for 15 s and allowed to recover for 60 s in pH 6.95. 50 nM PcTx1 was applied in the conditioning solution before the third activation. (b) Quantitative analysis of six measurements like the one shown in (a). Symbols represent six individual neurons, bars represent mean and SD, respectively. Conditioning pH 6.95 desensitized homomeric ASIC1a and heteromeric ASIC1a/2b. Co-application of PcTx1 revealed the PcTx1-sensitivity of the remaining ASIC1a/2a heteromers in these neurons.
