Abstract
Activity of stretch-activated potassium channels has been recorded in articular chondrocytes using patch-clamp technique. Pressure dependence is described by a sigmoidal function with a half-maximum effect at -20.5 mbar. Selectivity for potassium is demonstrated by agreement between the reversal potential measured at different [K+]o and the prediction of Nernst equation and by block of these channels by caesium.Entities:
