Abstract excerpt

GFP-promoter experiments have previously shown that at least nine genes encoding potassium channel subunits are expressed in Caenorhabditis elegans muscle. By using genetic, RNA interference, and physiological techniques we revealed the molecular identity of the major components of the outward K+ currents in body wall muscle cells in culture. We found that under physiological conditions, outward current is...
