Abstract:
A rat brain cDNA (Raw3) related to the Drosophila Shaw K+ channel family has been characterized. Raw3 cRNA leads to the formation of TEA-insensitive, fast inactivating (A-type) K+ channels when injected into Xenopus laevis oocytes. Raw3 channels have markedly different properties from the previously cloned rat A-type K+ channel RCK4, Raw3 channels operate in the positive voltage range.
