A mutation in the C. elegans EXP-2 potassium channel that alters feeding behavior.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 24 Dec 1999

Davis M W, Fleischhauer R, Dent J A, Joho R H, Avery L

Abstract excerpt

The nematode pharynx has a potassium channel with unusual properties, which allows the muscles to repolarize quickly and with the proper delay. Here, the Caenorhabditis elegans exp-2 gene is shown to encode this channel. EXP-2 is a Kv-type (voltage-activated) potassium channel that has inward-rectifying properties resembling those of the structurally dissimilar human ether-à-go-go-related gene (HERG) channel....
