Abstract excerpt
Choroid plexus epithelial cells express inward-rectifying anion channels which have a high HCO(3)(-) permeability. These channels are thought to have an important role in the secretion of cerebrospinal fluid. The possible relationship between these channels and the ClC-2 Cl(-) channel was investigated in the present study. RT-PCR, using specific ClC-2 primers, amplified a 238 bp fragment of mRNA from rat choroid...
