Abstract
The effect of apamin, a polypeptidic toxin from bee venom which is a specific blocker of certain Ca2+-dependent K+ channels, has been tested (50-100nM) on voltage clamped single skeletal muscle fibres of the frog. The results have shown the existence of an inhibitory effect of the toxin on the slow outward K+ current which suggests the existence of a Ca2+-sensitive component of the slow K+ permeability in the plasma membrane of the frog muscle fibre.Entities:
