Abstract:j = 0. The macroscopic G j showed substantial reduction (by 82% at V j = 100mV) when depolarizing Cx50expressing cell, whereas a moderate reduction (by 61% at V j = À100mV) when hyperpolarizing Cx50-expressing cell. This observation is in agreement with previous finding that Cx50 hemichannel gates when the cell is depolarized. Single Cx50/Cx50Cx36N heterotypic channel displayed a main conductance of 120pS at low V j pulses (5 20mV), but the conductance rectified with increasing V j pulses. Cx50/Cx50N9R heterot… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
