Some BK channels are activated in response to membrane stretch. However, it remains largely unknown which membrane component transmits forces to the channel and which part of the channel senses the… Expand
Cloning and Characterization of a Calcium-Activated Chloride Channel in Rat Uterus1
Abstract In a search for genes involved in regulation of uterine contractility, we cloned a novel calcium-activated chloride channel gene, named rat Clca4, from pregnant rat uterus. The gene shares… Expand
Membrane Potential Dependent Duration of Action Potentials in Cultured Rat Hippocampal Neurons
Abstract(1) Fluctuations of the membrane potential states are essential for the brain functions from the response of individual neurons to the cognitive function of the brain. It has been reported in… Expand
