A component of calcium-activated potassium channels encoded by the Drosophila slo locus.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 2 Aug 1991

Atkinson N S, Robertson G A, Ganetzky B

Abstract excerpt

Calcium-activated potassium channels mediate many biologically important functions in electrically excitable cells. Despite recent progress in the molecular analysis of voltage-activated K+ channels, Ca(2+)-activated K+ channels have not been similarly characterized. The Drosophila slowpoke (slo) locus, mutations of which specifically abolish a Ca(2+)-activated K+ current in muscles and neurons, provides an...
