Abstract excerpt
KCNQ1 inactivation bears electrophysiological characteristics different from classical N- and C-type inactivation in Shaker-like potassium channels. However, the molecular site of KCNQ1 inactivation has not yet been determined. KCNQ2 channels do not exert a fast inactivation in contrast to KCNQ1 channels. By expressing functional chimeras between KCNQ1 and KCNQ2 in Xenopus oocytes, we mapped the region of this...
