Functional expression of Kir4.1 channels in spinal cord astrocytes.

Glia - 1 Apr 2006

Olsen M L, Higashimori H, Campbell S L, Hablitz J J, Sontheimer H

Abstract excerpt

Spinal cord astrocytes (SCA) have a high permeability to K+ and hence have hyperpolarized resting membrane potentials. The underlying K+ channels are believed to participate in the uptake of neuronally released K+. These K+ channels have been studied extensively with regard to their biophysics and pharmacology, but their molecular identity in spinal cord is currently unknown. Using a combination of approaches, we...
