Physiology and pathology of chloride transporters and channels in the nervous system : from molecules to diseases
The importance of chloride ions in cell physiology has not been fully recognized until recently, in spite of the fact that chloride (Cl- ), together with bicarbonate, is the most abundant free anion in animal cells, and performs or determines fundamental biological functions in all tissues. This book is about how chloride ions are regulated and how they cross the plasma membrane of neurons. It spans from molecular structure and function of carriers and channels involved in Cl- transport to their role in various diseases
