Table 8. Contribution of chemical signals to CO2/H+ sensitivity in each channel.

Channel-specific weights assigned to each signal. Intracellular pH, wpHi,, extracellular pH, wpH0, and CO2 level, wCO2. For non-chemosensitive currents the weight is set to zero. These values were adjusted to fit percentage of activation/inactivation of specific currents in different acidotic challenges [23,45,47,49]. Abbreviations for currents as in Eq 2.
