Fitting values of amiloride and NS383 at rat and human acid‐sensing ion channels (ASICs). Amiloride and NS383 inhibition concentration response relationships were obtained as described in the Figure 2 legend. Data points were fitted to the Hill equation using nonlinear regression where the top value (representing infinite compound dilution) was set to 1 and the bottom value to 0 for ASIC1a, ASIC2a, ASIC3, and rASIC1a+3.Variable bottom was used for NS383 at ASIC1a+2a, ASIC2a+3, and hASIC1a+3 as saturating compound concentrations clearly did not cause complete inhibition. Data are presented as EC50 in μM ± SE, inhibition level in % (where bottom = 0 reflect 100% inhibition) and Hill slopes ± SE
