Preferential allosteric modulation of Otop1 channels by small molecule compounds

Abstract The Otopetrin (Otop) proteins, comprising Otop1-3, are proton-gated proton channels with key biological functions. Otop1 acts as a receptor for sour and ammonium salt tastes in mammals, but its gating mechanisms and pharmacology remain poorly understood. Here, we report the functional chara...
