Abstract excerpt
Phosphorylation of the inactivation gate of a K+ channel (Kv3.4) by protein kinase C (PKC) slows rapid N-type inactivation. To demonstrate that such an effect could occur under more physiological conditions, Kv3.4 and a metabotropic serotonin (5-HT) receptor were coexpressed in Xenopus oocytes. A...
