Abstract excerpt
The cAMP concentration in Drosophila is increased by mutations of the dunce (dnc) gene and decreased by mutations of the rutabaga (rut) gene. Such mutants provide a unique means for exploring the role of cAMP in functional and developmental regulation of membrane currents. Four distinct K+ currents have been identified in Drosophila larval muscle fibers, i.e. the voltage-activated transient IA and delayed IK and...
