Abstract excerpt
AIM: To study the effects of Na(+) channel blocker flecainide and L-type Ca(2+) channel antagonist verapamil on the voltage-gated fKv1.4ΔN channel, an N-terminal-deleted mutant of the ferret Kv1.4 K(+) channel. METHODS: fKv1.4ΔN channels were stably expressed in Xenopus oocytes. The K(+) currents were recorded using a two-electrode voltage-clamp technique. The drugs were administered through superfusion. RESULTS:...
