Abstract
Studies of potassium channel evolution from the Jegla group contribute valuable insights into the evolution of complexity in electrical signaling and the conservation and repurposing of key molecular components throughout evolutionary history.
期刊介绍:
General physiology is the study of biological mechanisms through analytical investigations, which decipher the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying biological function at all levels of organization.
The mission of Journal of General Physiology (JGP) is to publish mechanistic and quantitative molecular and cellular physiology of the highest quality, to provide a best-in-class author experience, and to nurture future generations of independent researchers. The major emphasis is on physiological problems at the cellular and molecular level.
