“…In this respect, HCN4 channels are interesting to investigate because their voltage sensitivity is altered to a greater extent by cAMP than in any of the other mammalian HCN isoforms (e.g., Ludwig et al, 1998;Santoro et al, 2000). This would predict that the contribution of I h to resting membrane potential and resistance (Lee and Ishida, 2007) and to rebound excitation (Tabata and Ishida, 1996;Lee et al, 2003;Lee and Ishida, 2007) is increased by conditions that elevate intracellular cAMP levels (Vaquero et al, 2001;Nir et al, 2002;Dunn et al, 2006;Mills et al 2007). However, properties of the net current are shaped by the presence of other HCN isoforms (Franz et al, 2000;Santoro et al, 2000;Altomare et al, 2001;Chen et al, 2001).…”
