A calcium-independent chloride current activated by hyperpolarization in Xenopus oocytes.

Parker I, Miledi R.


???displayArticle.abstract???
Hyperpolarization of oocytes of Xenopus laevis usually elicits mainly passive currents. However, when polarized to potentials more negative than about -100 mV, oocytes obtained from some donors show a relatively well maintained current that is carried mainly by chloride ions. This response does not depend upon external calcium, and is thus clearly different from the calcium-dependent transient chloride current previously described.
