The slowpoke gene is necessary for rapid ethanol tolerance in Drosophila.

Alcoholism, clinical and experimental research - 1 Oct 2005

Cowmeadow R B, Krishnan H R, Atkinson N S

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Ethanol is one of the most commonly used drugs in the world. We are interested in the compensatory mechanisms used by the nervous system to counter the effects of ethanol intoxication. Recently, the slowpoke BK-type calcium-activated potassium channel gene has been shown to be involved in ethanol sensitivity in Caenorhabditis elegans and in rapid tolerance to the anesthetic benzyl alcohol in...
