Expression of Ca2+-activated BK channel mRNA and its splice variants in the rat cochlea.

The Journal of comparative neurology - 6 Jan 2003

Langer Patricia, Gründer Stefan, Rüsch Alfons

Abstract excerpt

Voltage-activated K(+) channels are important for shaping the receptor potentials of cochlear hair cells. In particular, the functional maturation of inner hair cells in mice around the onset of hearing coincides with the expression of a large, fast K(+) conductance, probably mediated by Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK) channels. In hearing organs of lower vertebrates, frequency tuning depends on BK-type K(+) channels...
