Abstract excerpt
We have isolated a novel variant form of GIRK2, designated GIRK2B, from mouse brain cDNA library. GIRK2B was much shorter than the first type of GIRK2 (GIRK2A), but its amino acid sequence was identical to the corresponding part of GIRK2A except the C-terminal eight amino acid residues. When GIRK2B cRNA was co-injected with GIRK1 and m2-receptor cRNAs to Xenopus oocytes, acetylcholine-induction of the inwardly...
