I function more as a channel for others.
The N. meningitides PilQ multimer has been proposed to function as an entrance channel for DNA in naturally competent cells [18].
PURPOSE: Aquaporin (AQP) is a hexahelical integral membrane protein that functions as a constitutive channel for water and regulated channel for cations in fluid transporting tissues, including many in the eye.
The app, cofounded by Gilt Groupe cofounder Alexis Maybank and launched in April, lets users buy directly from images posted on the app, while also functioning as a revenue channel for influencers.
As a positive control, Na+ influx was determined after addition of 5 nmol gramicidin, which has a similar function as valinomycin and forms a channel for K+ and Na+, but does not interfere with SBFI dye as does valinomycin.
The epithelial cells not only function as the channel for egg-laying but also play organizational roles for the development of the entire vulval organ, coordinating multiple events including vulval muscle migration, axon guidance of HSN, VC axon branching and synapse formation.
We conclude that the prokaryotic SaTRIC also function as a K+ channel, with similar electrophysiological properties as the eukaryotic TRIC channels.
In particular, petitions rather than elections function as the main channel for gathering information on popular perceptions about governance problems in communist autocracies.
Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) is a member of a family of integral membrane proteins, the aquaporins, which function as molecular channels for the movement of water across the plasma membrane.
In this model, TRPN is the primary transduction channel that triggers the mechanical amplification of the antennal vibrations, while TRPV functions as a secondary channel required for the generation of action potentials but also downregulates the antennal vibrations [for review see ref. 6].
