Abstract excerpt
Potassium channels show a wide range of functional diversity. Nerve cells typically express a number of K+ channels that differ in their kinetics, single-channel conductance, pharmacology, and sensitivity to voltage and second messengers. The cloning of the Shaker gene in Drosophila, and of relat...
