^aThe unique UniProt Accession ID is given

^bThe four residues that form cytoplasmic slit in the closed state of the channel. They correspond to L79 from TM2a, L89 and T91 from Ω-loop and V175 from TM4 of the formate channel (PDB ID: 3KCU). The residue shown in bold moves away from the cytoplasmic slit when the Ω-loop undergoes conformational changes so that FNT channel can make a transition from the closed to open state

^cCalculation of Cumulative Hydropathy Index (CHI) and Cumulative vdw Volume (CVV) are described in the text
