Abstract excerpt
Kv1.4 encodes a slowly recovering transient outward current (I(to)), which inactivates by a fast N-type (intracellular ball and chain) mechanism but has slow recovery due to C-type inactivation. C-type inactivation of the NH(2)-terminal deletion mutant (fKv1.4DeltaN) was inhibited by 98 mM extracellular K(+) concentration ([K(+)](o)), whereas N-type was unaffected. In 98 mM [K(+)](o), removal of intracellular...
