Abstract excerpt
Xenopus laevis oocytes codify a G-protein-activated inward rectifier potassium channel (GIRK5 or Kir3.5). Coinjection of other GIRKs, the muscarinic m2 receptor, or Gbetagamma protein cRNAs is required to observe functional GIRKx-GIRK5 heteromultimers in oocytes. Studies with GIRK2 isoforms have shown that the size of the amino or carboxyl terminus plays a crucial role on giving functional K(+) channels. In this...
