Alexander G. Obukhov
Alexander G. Obukhov is an American researcher, who specializes in Ion channel, ion channels, Molecular Physiology, molecular physiology, and vascular biology. Since 1986, Obukhov published research articles, with the most notable ones published in academic journals such as Nature (journal), Nature, Journal of Biological Chemistry, The EMBO Journal, EMBO Journal, Journal of Cell Biology, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, and Neuron (journal), Neuron. Obukhov's research later evolved to feature multiple fields including neurophysiology, traumatic brain injury, pain, and atherosclerosis. Education Obukhov obtained a Degree of Chemist from Samara State University (Samara, USSR) in 1983. He then studied Electrophysiology at the Bogomoletz Institute of Physiology (Kyiv, Ukraine) and earned a Ph.D. Degree in 1988. Obukhov later pursued Fellowships in Electrophysiology and Molecular biology, Molecular Biology at Bogomoletz Insti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ion Channel
Ion channels are pore-forming membrane proteins that allow ions to pass through the channel pore. Their functions include establishing a resting membrane potential, shaping action potentials and other electrical signals by Gating (electrophysiology), gating the flow of ions across the cell membrane, controlling the flow of ions across secretion, secretory and epithelial cells, and regulating cell (biology), cell volume. Ion channels are present in the membranes of all cells. Ion channels are one of the two classes of ionophore, ionophoric proteins, the other being ion transporters. The study of ion channels often involves biophysics, electrophysiology, and pharmacology, while using techniques including voltage clamp, patch clamp, immunohistochemistry, X-ray crystallography, fluoroscopy, and RT-PCR. Their classification as molecules is referred to as channelomics. Basic features There are two distinctive features of ion channels that differentiate them from other types of ion ...
