oligotrimer

plural oligotrimers

1. A trimer (considered as an oligomer)

   In oocytes expressing a functional ASIC1a current (7.0±0.94 μA, n = 16) the 3 ASIC FP migrates essentially as band III under reducing conditions; however treatment with 0.3 mM NaTT shifts the 3 ASIC FP oligotrimer to a tetramer (band IV) that becomes the main ASIC1a oligomer (Fig 7C ).
