Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A-currents (IA) of chick ciliary ganglion (CG) neurons were blocked reversibly by arachidonic acid and a non-metabolizable analog of arachidonic acid, 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraynoic acid. Inhibition of IA by both lipids was observed in whole-cell recordings and in excised inside-out patches, suggesting that Kv4 (Shal) subunits contribute to functional IA channels in CG neurons. Consistent with this, Kv4.2 and Kv4.3 cDNAs were isolated by RT-PCR from chick CG neurons.
