Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Biochemistry

Yoshihisa Kurachi mainly investigates Potassium channel, Cell biology, Biophysics, Biochemistry and Inward-rectifier potassium ion channel. His study in Potassium channel is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Northern blot, Cell membrane, G protein-coupled inwardly-rectifying potassium channel, Neuroscience and Pharmacology. His research integrates issues of Epithelial polarity, Anatomy, KCNJ10, Messenger RNA and Sulfonylurea receptor in his study of Cell biology.

His Biophysics study also includes fields such as

  • Patch clamp which connect with Guanosine diphosphate,
  • Beta most often made with reference to Pertussis toxin. His study involves Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, Ligand-gated ion channel, Intracellular, GTP-binding protein regulators and G protein, a branch of Biochemistry. Yoshihisa Kurachi combines subjects such as Complementary DNA, cDNA library, Xenopus and Molecular biology with his study of Inward-rectifier potassium ion channel.

His most cited work include:

  • The βγ subunits of GTP-binding proteins activate the muscarinic K + channel in heart (1031 citations)
  • Inwardly Rectifying Potassium Channels: Their Structure, Function, and Physiological Roles (940 citations)
  • International Union of Pharmacology. XLI. Compendium of voltage-gated ion channels : potassium channels (544 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Biophysics, Potassium channel, Cell biology, Internal medicine and G protein. His Biophysics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor, Biochemistry, Intracellular and Inward-rectifier potassium ion channel. Yoshihisa Kurachi focuses mostly in the field of Potassium channel, narrowing it down to matters related to Pharmacology and, in some cases, hERG.

His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Calmodulin, Ion channel and Anatomy. His research investigates the connection with Internal medicine and areas like Endocrinology which intersect with concerns in Membrane potential. The study incorporates disciplines such as Gating and Protein subunit in addition to G protein.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biophysics (45.93%)
  • Potassium channel (23.52%)
  • Cell biology (19.78%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Biophysics (45.93%)
  • Pharmacology (11.87%)
  • Cell biology (19.78%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of investigation include Biophysics, Pharmacology, Cell biology, hERG and Anatomy. Specifically, his work in Biophysics is concerned with the study of Membrane potential. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cancer, In silico and Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor.

His Cell biology research includes themes of Brain-derived neurotrophic factor and Transfection. His studies deal with areas such as Immunology, Membrane, Epithelial polarity and Intracellular as well as Extracellular. His research brings together the fields of Potassium channel and Neuroscience.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Basolateral Mg2+ Extrusion via CNNM4 Mediates Transcellular Mg2+ Transport across Epithelia: A Mouse Model (74 citations)
  • The unique electrical properties in an extracellular fluid of the mammalian cochlea; their functional roles, homeostatic processes, and pathological significance (29 citations)
  • The mechanism underlying maintenance of the endocochlear potential by the K+ transport system in fibrocytes of the inner ear (26 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Internal medicine
  • Amino acid

His primary areas of study are Biophysics, Extracellular, Perilymph, Endolymph and Anatomy. His Membrane potential study in the realm of Biophysics connects with subjects such as Re absorption. The various areas that Yoshihisa Kurachi examines in his Extracellular study include Immunology, Potassium channel blocker and Intracellular.

His Perilymph research includes elements of Endocochlear potential, Membrane and Syncytium. Yoshihisa Kurachi has researched Anatomy in several fields, including Depolarization, Ion channel and Astrocyte. His Ion channel study combines topics in areas such as Heterotrimeric G protein and GTPase-activating protein.
