Endothelin activation of an inwardly rectifying K+ current in atrial cells.
Various tissues including heart express specific binding sites for endothelin. Endothelins have been reported to increase the force of contraction of cardiac muscle, presumably via specific receptors. Specific binding of endothelin to atrial tissue is particularly high. In spontaneously contracting rat atrial cells used in this study, all three isoforms of endothelin (endothelin-1, endothelin-2...
متن کاملGi3 mediates somatostatin-induced activation of an inwardly rectifying K+ current in human growth hormone-secreting adenoma cells.
SRIF activates an inwardly rectifying K+ current in human GH-secreting adenoma cells. Activation of this K+ current induces hyperpolarization of the membrane and abolishment of action potential firing. This mechanism is an essential mechanism for SRIF-induced decrease in intracellular Ca2+ concentration and inhibition of GH secretion. The activation of the inwardly rectifying K+ current is medi...
متن کاملActivation of inwardly-rectifying k+ channels in hypothalamic POMC neurons: role in integrating synaptic and metabolic input
Hypothalamic proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons are critical for controlling homeostatic functions in mammals. We used a transgenic mouse model in which the POMC neurons were labeled with enhanced-green fluorescent protein (EGFP) to perform visualized, whole-cell patch recordings from pre-pubertal female hypothalamic slices. The mouse POMC-EGFP neurons expressed the same endogenous conductance ...

متن کاملInwardly rectifying K+ channels in dispersed bovine parathyroid cells.
Excitation-secretion coupling in various endocrine cells is dependent on membrane voltage which is controlled by ion channels. In order to characterize and determine the functional significance of voltage-gated ion channels in the parathyroid cell, the patch clamp technique was used in cell-attached and whole cell configurations to study single channel and whole cell currents in dispersed bovin...
