Properties of potassium currents and their role in membrane excitability in Drosophila larval muscle fibers.

The Journal of experimental biology - 1 Sept 1990

Singh S, Wu C F

Abstract excerpt

The larval muscle fibers of Drosophila show four outward K+ currents in addition to the inward Ca2+ current in voltage-clamp recordings. The Shaker (Sh) and the slowpoke (slo) mutations, respectively, eliminate the voltage-activated fast K+ current (IA) and the Ca2(+)-activated fast K+ current (ICF). Quinidine specifically blocks the voltage-activated delayed K+ current (IK) at micromolar concentrations. We used...
