{"abstract":[{"text":"Amphibian myelinated nerve fibers were treated with collagenase and protease. Axons with retraction of the myelin sheath were patch-clamped in the nodal and paranodal region. One type of Na channel was found. It has a single-channel conductance of 11 pS (15 degrees C) and is blocked by tetrodotoxin. Averaged events show the typical activation and inactivation kinetics of macroscopic Na current. Three potential-dependent K channels were identified (I, F, and S channel). The I channel, being the most frequent type, has a single-channel conductance of 23 pS (inward current, 105 mM K on both sides of the membrane), activates between -60 and -30 mV, deactivates with intermediate kinetics, and is sensitive to dendrotoxin. The F channel has a conductance of 30 pS, activates between -40 and 60 mV, and deactivates with fast kinetics. The former inactivates within tens of seconds; the latter inactivates within seconds. The third type, the S channel, has a conductance of 7 pS and deactivates slowly. All three channels can be blocked by external tetraethylammonium chloride. We suggest that these distinct K channel types form the basis for the different components of macroscopic K current described previously.","lang":"eng"}],"date_updated":"2022-02-14T16:12:33Z","volume":86,"title":"Single-channel recording in myelinated nerve fibers reveals one type of Na channel but different K channels","publist_id":"2921","oa":1,"_id":"3466","day":"01","oa_version":"Published Version","citation":{"ieee":"P.
