We investigated the kinetics of rat brain type III Na+ currents expressed in Xenopus oocytes.
We found distinct patterns of fast and slow gating. Fast gating was characterized by bursts of …

This report describes the expression of a sodium-selective, amiloride-blockable
conductance in Xenopus oocytes that have been injected with RNA prepared from a distal …

1. The rat brain type IIA Na+ channel alpha‐subunit was stably expressed in Chinese
hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Current through the expressed Na+ channels was studied using …

We have injected mRNA from rabbit brain into stage II–III Xenopus oocytes to determine
whether they will translate exogenous RNA and incorporate functional ion channels into the …

Single Na channel currents were compared in ventricular myocytes and cortical neurons of
neonatal rats using the gigaseal patch-clamp method to determine whether tissue-specific …

1. Dissociated, synchronized (G1 phase of cell cycle), and birth-dated fetal rat diencephalic
neurons were grown in a serum-free defined medium. The gigaseal whole-cell voltage …

Sodium channel currents were recorded in excised inside-out patches from immature (P4–
10) and older (P20–46) rat CA1 neurones. Channel conductance was 16.6±0.013 pS (P20 …

Macroscopic and single-channel currents through several types of cloned rat brain Na+
channels, expressed in Xenopus oocytes, were measured using the patch-clamp technique …
