Abstract excerpt

The calcium-dependent modulation of type A K+ current (IA) has been investigated using a two-electrode voltage clamp on larval muscle cells of Drosophila. It was found that the amplitude of IA increases when [Ca2+]o is changed from 0.2 mM to 2 mM. The increase in IA amplitude is not due to overla...
