TRP Channels in Yeast

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Transient Receptor Potential Channels

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 704))

Abstract

Microbes have made numerous contributions to the study of biology and medicine. Those contributions also include many original discovery’s in the study of ion channels often thought as the province of neuroscientists or cardiophysiologists. Yeast have long been used as a model organism and TRP channel genes and their transmembrane products touted as the “vanguards of the sensory system” can be identified in the genomes of many yeasts. This article aims to review the study of these TRP channels in yeast their discovery, electrophysiological properties and physiological function.
