Abstract excerpt
Drosophila mutants provide an ideal model to study channel-type specificity of ion channel regulation in situ. In this study, the effects of divalent cations on voltage-gated K+ currents were investigated in acutely dissociated central neurons of Drosophila third instar larvae using the whole-cell patch-clamp recording. Our data showed that micromolar Cd2+ enhanced the peak inactivating current (I(A)) without...
