Abstract
The ionic selectivity of the Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel of Aplysia neurons and of the light-dependent K(+) channel of Pecten photoreceptors to metal and organic cations was studied. The selectivity sequence determined from reversal potential measurements is T1(+) K(+) > Rb(+) > NH(+) (4) > Cs(+) > Na(+), Li(+) and is identical to the sequence determined previously for voltage-dependent K(+) channels in a variety of tissues. Our results suggest that some physical aspect of the K(+) channel is conserved in phyllogenetically different tissues and cells.Entities:
