Activation of Ca2+-dependent K+ channels contributes to rhythmic firing of action potentials in mouse pancreatic beta cells
- Abstract:
-
We have applied the perforated patch whole-cell technique to 13 cells within intact pancreatic islets to identify the current underlying the glucose-induced rhythmic firing of action potentials. Trains of depolarizations (to simulate glucose-induced electrical activity) resulted in the gradual (time constant: 2.3 s) development of a small (< 0.8 nS) K+ conductance. The current was dependent on Ca2+ influx but unaffected by apamin and charybdotoxin, two blockers of Ca2+-activated K+ channel...
