Lysosomes are the recycling centers of human cells. Larger molecules are broken down inside the membrane-enclosed vesicles. Malfunctions can lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's.
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute one of the largest families of membrane proteins and play a pivotal role in translating extracellular signals into diverse intracellular responses. A key ...
BK and CaV1.3 channels interact early during biogenesis, assembling intracellularly before membrane localization, indicating coordinated processes for functional coupling.
Researchers at Northwestern University have discovered a concealed molecular "control switch" within a protein that plays a ...
Researchers decipher the function of an ion channel involved in cellular degradation processes and create new possibilities for Parkinson’s therapies.
