Magnesium regulates various ion channels in many tissues, including those of the
cardiovascular system. General mechanisms by which intracellular Mg2+ (Mgi2+) regulates …

In rat basophilic leukemia (RBL) cells and Jurkat T cells, Ca2+ release–activated Ca2+
(CRAC) channels open in response to passive Ca2+ store depletion. Inwardly rectifying …

The rapid development of molecular biology techniques during recent years has opened up
novel possibilities for the study of ion channels at a molecular level. The elucidation of …

The rat homologue of Drosophila ether à gogo cDNA (rat eag) encodes voltage-activated
potassium (K) channels with distinct activation properties. Using the Xenopus expression …

We have investigated the electrophysiological basis of potassium inward rectification of the
KAT1 gene product from Arabidopsis thaliana expressed in Xenopus oocytes and of …

We used whole-cell recording to characterize ion permeation, rectification, and block of
monovalent current through calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channels in Jurkat T …

We report that voltage-gated Na+ channels (Na V) from rat muscle (μ1) expressed in
HEK293 cells exhibit anomalous rectification of whole-cell outward current under conditions …

Two mutants of the sodium channel II have been expressed in Xenopus oocytes and have
been investigated using the patch-clamp technique. In mutant E387Q the glutamic acid at …

The recently presented theory of microvillar Ca2+ signaling [Lange, K.(1999) J. Cell. Physiol.
180, 19–35], combined with Manning's theory of “condensed counterions” in linear …

1 The Mg2+ block of Na+ and Ca2+ currents through high‐voltage activated (HVA; L‐and N‐
type) Ca2+ channels was studied in chick dorsal root ganglion neurones. 2 In low …
