Cloning and sequencing of cDNAs isolated from a rat cortex cDNA library reveals that a
gene family encodes several highly homologous K+ channel forming (RCK) proteins …

AN important step towards understanding the molecular basis of the functional diversity of
voltage-gated K+ channels in the mammalian brain has been the discovery of a family of …

We have isolated and characterized a human cDNA (HBK2) that is homologous to novel
member (RCK2) of the K+ channel RCK gene family expressed in rat brain. RCK2 mRNA …

Five distinct K+ channel cDNA molecules (RK1 to RK5) were cloned from either rat heart or
rat aorta cDNA libraries. Four of the channels, RK1 to RK4, are similar or identical to Shaker …

Voltage‐gated K+ channels in the mammalian brain are functionally heterogeneous.
Mechanisms which may underlie heterogeneity are the expression of multiple K+ channel …

A cDNA clone encoding a K+ channel polypeptide with 72% amino acid sequence identity to
Drosophila Shd was isolated from rat hippocampus. Functional expression of thecDNA in …

Background: Voltage-gated K+ channels play an important role in the control of neuronal
excitability and synaptic plasticity. Their low abundance and extraordinary heterogeneity …

A full-length K+ channel cDNA (RHK1) was isolated from a rat cardiac library using the
polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method and degenerate oligonucleotide primers derived …

Using a cDNA library prepared from circumvallate papillae of rat tongue, we have identified,
cloned, and sequenced a novel K+ channel, designated cdrk. The cdrk channel appears to …

Potassium channels are a diverse group of ion channels present in most eukaryotic cells
that have been examined 1~ 3. Over 30 different potassium channels have been …
