Abstract excerpt
Genetic dissection in Drosophila has provided insights into the molecular mechanisms of K+ channel subunits that underlie various physiological functions. The involvement of these subunits in animal behavior, however, is not well understood. Mutations of the Shaker (Sh), Hyperkinetic (Hk), ether a go-go (eag) and quiver (qvr) genes have been found to affect the IAK+ channel in different ways. The influence of...
