The single channel current of intermediate conductance Ca2 +-activated K+ channel (IK channel) was measured in mouse urinary bladder myocytes (MBM), and the molecular basis of the channel was suggested to be the SK4 subtype by RT-PCR. Among Ca2+-activated K+ channel subtypes (SK2, SK3, SK4 and BK), the mRNAs of SK4 and BK were predominantly expressed in MBM. IK channel currents recorded from MBM showed: 38.7 pS slope conductance under symmetrical 140 mM K+ conditions, Ca2+-dependent activation, and blockade by charybdotoxin and econazole. These results strongly suggest that SK4 encodes IK channels in MBM.
在小鼠膀胱肌细胞(MBM)中测量了中电导Ca2 + 激活的K + 通道(IK通道)的单通道电流,通过逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)表明该通道的分子基础是SK4亚型。在Ca2 + 激活的K + 通道亚型(SK2、SK3、SK4和BK)中,SK4和BK的信使核糖核酸(mRNA)在MBM中主要表达。从MBM记录的IK通道电流显示:在对称的140 mM K + 条件下,斜率电导为38.7 pS,Ca2 + 依赖性激活,并被蝎毒素和益康唑阻断。这些结果强烈表明SK4编码MBM中的IK通道。
