Abstract excerpt
A mutation in the fifth transmembrane domain of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl(-) channel (V317E) resulted in whole cell currents that exhibited marked outward rectification on expression in Xenopus oocytes. However, the single-channel unitary current (i)-voltage (V) relationship failed to account for the rectification of whole cell currents. In excised patches containing one to...
