Alteration of potassium channel gating: molecular analysis of the Drosophila Sh5 mutation.
Neuron - 1 Jul 1990
Gautam M, Tanouye M A
Abstract excerpt
The Drosophila Shaker (Sh) gene encodes a family of voltage-gated K+ channels. Mutant alleles of Sh alter the currents expressed from these channels in a variety of ways. To identify the molecular basis of these alterations, Sh transcript sequences were amplified using the polymerase chain reacti...
