Abstract excerpt
The mechanism for electrical tuning in non-mammalian hair cells rests within the widely diverse kinetics of functionally distinct, large-conductance potassium channels (BK), thought to result from alternative splicing of the pore-forming alpha subunit and variable co-expression with an accessory beta subunit. Inside-out patches from hair cells along the chicken basilar papilla revealed 'tonotopic' gradations in...
