Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the Shaker (Sh) locus of Drosophila reduce, eliminate, or otherwise alter a transient potassium current, IA, in muscle. Recent molecular studies indicate that the Sh locus produces several proteins by alternative splicing, but the relationships of the variety of Sh gene products to IA channels in the various excitable membranes still remain to be determined. In Drosophila, many enzymes have been...
