Abstract excerpt
Large conductance chloride (maxi-Cl(-)) currents have been recorded in some cells, but there is still little information on the molecular nature of the channel underlying this conductance. We report here that tweety, a gene located in Drosophila flightless, has a structure similar to those of known channels and that human homologues of tweety (hTTYH1-3) are novel maxi-Cl(-) channels. hTTYH3 mRNA was found to be...
