Abstract

Background: The permeability and physiological role of several large pore (hemi)channels are unresolved.

Results: Large pore (hemi)channels, when heterologously expressed, display isoform-specific permeability and gating for ions and fluorescent dyes.

Significance: Although large pore channels have characteristic properties in overexpression systems, these properties may be undetectable in native cells.

Conclusion: Large pore channels have isoform-specific transport characteristics that can be used for their identification.
