Abstract excerpt
The recently manifested important role of the Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels, especially of the Slo gene-coded channels, for the cochlea function of the chicken raised the question of homolog expression in mammalian inner ear tissue. Molecular biological methods were used to demonstrate the expression of Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel subunits and splice variants of the Slo gene in the rat organ of Corti. RT-PCR...
