摘要
Arachidonic acid (AA) was found to inhibit the function of whole-cell voltage-gated (VG) calcium currents nearly 16 years ago. There are now numerous examples demonstrating that AA and other polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) modulate the function of VG ion channels, primarily in neurons and muscle cells. We will review and extract some common features about the modulation by PUFAs of VG calcium, sodium, and potassium channels and discuss the impact of this modulation on the excitability of neurons and cardiac myocytes. We will describe the fatty acid nature of the membrane, how fatty acids become available to function as modulators of VG channels, and the physiologic importance of this type of modulation. We will review the evidence for molecular mechanisms and assess our current understanding of the structural basis for modulation. With guidance from research on the structure of fatty acid binding proteins, the role of lipids in gating mechanosensitive (MS) channels, and the impact of membrane lipid composition on membrane-embedded proteins, we will highlight some avenues for future investigations.
