The kinesin, dynein, and myosin superfamily molecular motors have fundamental roles in
neuronal function, plasticity, morphogenesis, and survival by transporting cargos such as …

Various molecular cell biology and molecular genetic approaches have indicated significant
roles for kinesin superfamily proteins (KIFs) in intracellular transport and have shown that …

Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a cardiac arrhythmia disorder associated with sudden death in
young adults. With the exception of SCN5A, encoding the cardiac sodium channel NaV1. 5 …

Dendritic spines are the major sites of excitatory synaptic input, and their morphological
changes have been linked to learning and memory processes. Here, we report that growing …

The intrinsic electrical properties and the synaptic input-output relationships of neurons are
governed by the action of voltage-dependent ion channels. The localization of specific …

Growth cones, found at the tip of axonal projections, are the sensory and motile organelles
of develo** neurons that enable axon pathfinding and target recognition for precise wiring …

Abstract Since Hodgkin and Huxley discovered the potassium current that underlies the
falling phase of action potentials in the squid giant axon, the diversity of voltage‐gated …

Cells generate diverse microtubule populations by polymerization of a common α/β-tubulin
building block. How microtubule associated proteins translate microtubule heterogeneity …

Since the first discovery of Kvβ-subunits more than 15 years ago, many more ancillary Kv
channel subunits were characterized, for example, KChIPs, KCNEs, and BKβ-subunits. The …

As polarized cells, neurons maintain different sets of resident plasma membrane proteins in
their axons and dendrites, which is consistent with the different roles that these neurites …
