Ion channels are biological transistors that control ionic flux across cell membranes to regulate electrical transmission and signal transduction. They found in all their conductive state kinetics frequently disrupted human diseases. Organelle ion among the most resistant functional pharmacological interrogation. Traditional channel protein reconstitution methods rely upon exogenous expression and/or purification from endogenous cellular sources which contaminated by resident ionophores. Here, we describe a fully synthetic method assay properties of polycystin natively traffic primary cilia endoplasmic reticulum organelles. Using this method, characterize oligomeric assembly, membrane integration, orientation, conductance while comparing these results properties. Outcomes define novel approach can be applied broadly investigate biophysical analysis characterization.
