Kinetic properties of single sodium channels in rat heart and rat brain
Single Na channel currents were compared in ventricular myocytes and cortical neurons of neonatal rats using the gigaseal patch-clamp method to determine whether tissue-specific differences in gating can be detected at the single-channel level. Single-channel currents were recorded in cell-attached and excised membrane patches at test potentials of -70 to -20 mV and at 9-11 degrees C. In both c...
متن کاملProton Block of Rat Brain Sodium Channels
The acid titration function of bilayer-incorporated batrachotoxin (BTX)-modified sodium channels was examined in experiments in which the pH was decreased symmetrically, on both sides of the membrane, or asymmetrically, on only one side. In an a t tempt to minimize interpretat ional ambiguities, the experiments were done in 1.0 M NaCI (buffered to the appropr ia te pH) with channels incorporate...
متن کاملBiophysical and electropharmacological properties of single mitoKATP channel in rat brain mitochondrial inner membrane
Introduction: Different ATP-sensitive potassium channels have been detected in the mitochondrial inner membrane of cells. They are suggested to be involved in cell processes including cell protection. Here, we characterized the biophysical and electropharmacological properties of a KATP channel in the brain mitochondrial inner membranes. Methods: After removing and homogenizing the rat brain...
متن کاملToxin and kinetic profile of rat brain type III sodium channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes.
Sodium (Na+) channels are members of a multigene family and are responsible for generation and propagation of the action potential in excitable cells. We have assembled, in a transcription-competent vector, a full-length cDNA clone encoding the rat brain type III Na+ channel. Xenopus oocytes microinjected with in vitro synthesized mRNA expressed functional rat brain Na+ channels from such 'clon...
متن کاملIonizing radiation alters the properties of sodium channels in rat brain synaptosomes.
The effect of ionizing radiation on neuronal membrane function was assessed by measurement of neurotoxin-stimulated 22Na+ uptake by rat brain synaptosomes. High-energy electrons and gamma photons were equally effective in reducing the maximal uptake of 22Na+ with no significant change in the affinity of veratridine for its binding site in the channel. Ionizing radiation reduced the veratridine-...
