Abstract excerpt
To test whether a single amino-acid residue at the center of pore region can dictate the difference of open-close kinetics in a steady-state at hyperpolarized potentials among members of the inward K+ channel family, the Q140E mutant of the inward rectifier K+ channel (IRK1) was made and its gating properties were compared with those of IRK1 wild type (Wt) in Xenopus oocytes. The distinct differences were...
