There are a number of mammalian anion channel types associated with cell volume
changes. These channel types are classified into two groups: volume-activated anion …

ATP serves not only as an energy source for all cell types but as an 'extracellular messenger-

The maxi‐anion channels (MAC s) are expressed in cells from mammals to amphibians
with~ 60% exhibiting a phenotype called Maxi‐Cl. Maxi‐Cl serves as the most efficient …

The maxi-anion channels (MACs) with a unitary conductance of 200–500 pS are detected in
virtually every part of the whole body and found in cells from mammals to amphibia. The …

The maxi-anion channel is widely expressed and found in almost every part of the body. The
channel is activated in response to osmotic cell swelling, to excision of the membrane patch …

The Maxi-Cl phenotype accounts for the majority (app. 60%) of reports on the large-
conductance maxi-anion channels (MACs) and has been detected in almost every type of …

The pHi (intracellular pH) is an important physiological parameter which is altered during
hypoxia and ischaemia, pathological conditions accompanied by a dramatic decrease in …

Annexins are physiologically important proteins that play a role in calcium buffering but also
influence membrane structure, participate in Ca2+-dependent membrane repair events and …

The human placental syncytiotrophoblast (hSTB) is a polarized epithelial structure, that
