Hyperpolarization-activated chloride currents in Xenopus oocytes
During hyperpolarizing pulses, defolliculated Xenopus oocytes have time- and voltage-dependent inward chloride currents. The currents vary greatly in amplitude from batch to batch; activate slowly and, in general, do not decay; have a selectivity sequence of I- > NO3- > Br- > Cl- > propionate > acetate; are insensitive to Ca2+ and pH; are blocked by Ba2+ and some chloride channel blockers; and ...
متن کاملClcn2 encodes the hyperpolarization-activated chloride channel in the ducts of mouse salivary glands.
Transepithelial Cl(-) transport in salivary gland ducts is a major component of the ion reabsorption process, the final stage of saliva production. It was previously demonstrated that a Cl(-) current with the biophysical properties of ClC-2 channels dominates the Cl(-) conductance of unstimulated granular duct cells in the mouse submandibular gland. This inward-rectifying Cl(-) current is activ...
متن کاملInterspecies diversity of chloride channel regulators, calcium-activated 3 genes
Members of the chloride channel regulators, calcium-activated (CLCA) family, have been implicated in diverse biomedical conditions, including chronic inflammatory airway diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cystic fibrosis, the activation of macrophages, and the growth and metastatic spread of tumor cells. Several observations, however, could not be repeated acros...
متن کاملCalcium-activated chloride channels.
Calcium-activated chloride channels (CaCCs) play important roles in cellular physiology, including epithelial secretion of electrolytes and water, sensory transduction, regulation of neuronal and cardiac excitability, and regulation of vascular tone. This review discusses the physiological roles of these channels, their mechanisms of regulation and activation, and the mechanisms of anion select...
متن کاملThe myotonia congenita mutation A331T confers a novel hyperpolarization-activated gate to the muscle chloride channel ClC-1.
Mutations in the muscle chloride channel gene CLCN1 cause myotonia congenita, an inherited disorder of skeletal muscle excitability leading to a delayed relaxation after muscle contraction. Here, we examine the functional consequences of a novel disease-causing mutation that predicts the substitution of alanine by threonine at position 331 (A331T) by whole-cell patch-clamp recording of recombin...
