Cloning and modulation by endothelin-1 of rat cardiac K channel.
???displayArticle.abstract???
We have cloned a delayed rectifier type K channel from rat heart (RH1). RH1 was identical to the rat brain K channel BK2 and differed from recently cloned rat cardiac K channel RAK by one amino acid residue. Endothelin receptors(ETRs)-mediated modulation of RH1 current (IRH1) was studied using Xenopus oocyte expression system. Activation of two different subtypes of ETRs by endothelin-1 equally suppressed the amplitude of IRH1. Stimulation of phosphatidylinositol turnover will probably be responsible for the suppression.
