The article “Mammalian skeletal muscle does not express functional voltage-gated H⁺channels” (Bruno Allard, October 2018) was highlighted by The American Physiological Society:

Twenty five years ago, a pioneer and unique electrophysiological study performed in cultured muscle cells has shown that skeletal muscle is able to extrude H⁺accumulated by muscle activity through voltage-gated H⁺channels. Up to now, the skeletal muscle cell was therefore considered to be the unique vertebrate excitable cell in which voltage-gated H⁺currents have been described. Here, in contrast to what was admitted so far, Fuster et al. demonstrate that mammalian skeletal muscle does not express functional voltage-gated H⁺channels.

muscle does not express functional voltage-gated H⁺channels.
