Abstract excerpt
Desensitization of the cardiac muscarinic K+ channel was studied in cultured neonatal rat atrial cells and in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with muscarinic receptor (HM(2)), G protein-coupled inward rectifying K+ channels 1 and 4, and G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2. In atrial cells incubated in 10 microM carbachol for 24 h, channel activity in cell-attached patches was substantially reduced...
