Damped oscillation in the ampullary electroreceptors ofPlotosus involves Ca-activated transient K conductance in the basal membrane of receptor cells
Search this article
Description
K-blockers suppressed damped oscillation of Plotosus electroreceptors in situ. Ca-blockers abolished V-dependent non-linear responses, as well, and shifted the DC level in the ampulla by ca. -1 mV. Thus, the in situ receptor is held depolarized with maintained Ca current in the basal membrane of receptor cells. The oscillation involves Ca-activated transient K current in the same membrane, which contributes to the initial sensory adaptation, and presumably also to stabilizing the sensitive receptors.
