Abstract excerpt

Alterations in voltage-dependent gating of A-type potassium channels by the Sh5 mutation were studied using macroscopic and single-channel recording techniques on cultured embryonic myotubes from Drosophila. The mutation increases the voltage required to activate and inactivate the A1 channel by...
