The voltage-gated proton channel bears surprising resemblance to the voltage-sensing domain (S1-S4) of other voltage-gated ion channels but is a dimer with two conduction pathways. The proton channel seems designed for efficient proton extrusion from cells. In phagocytes, it facilitates the production of reactive oxygen species by NADPH oxidase.
电压门控质子通道与其他电压门控离子通道的电压感应结构域(S1-S4)惊人地相似,但它是一个具有两条传导途径的二聚体。质子通道似乎是为了从细胞中高效排出质子而设计的。在吞噬细胞中,它有助于 NADPH 氧化酶产生活性氧物质。
