| Abstract: | A 22-mer peptide, identical to the primary sequence of domain I segment 4 (IS4) of rat brain sodium channel I, has been synthesized.
IS4 peptide can incorporate into cultured rat skeletal myotube membranes and form ion channels. With patch clamp cell-attached
technique single channel currents through IS4 channels can be recorded. The single channel conductances of IS4 channels are
distributed heterogeneously. With different holding potentials, the mean open time, the mean closed time and the mean open
probability are different respectively. IS4 channels are selective for Na+, Li+ and K+, but not for Cl−. |
