A role of ATP in nonadrenergic, noncholinergic (NANC) relaxations was examined in the Wistar rat jejunum. Electrical field stimulation (EFS) induced NANC relaxation of longitudinal muscle of the jejunal segments in a frequency-dependent manner.

Abstract figure legend KV4 channel availability regulates inferior olive action potential duration. The durations of action potentials in inferior olive neurons (blue) depend strongly on preceding membrane potential, with afterdepolarizations varying over the physiological range by almost two orders of magnitude (open circles). Voltage clamp recordings

The effect of the ionic composition of bathing solution on the potency of apamin.
Representative recordings of KCa2 current in HEK 293 cells transiently transfected with KCa2.2. The recordings were made in standard solution (A), nominally Ca 2+ and Mg2+ free solution (B) and Na+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ free solution in which NaCl was replaced ...

Apamin, a highly potent fetal L-type Ca2+ current blocker in single heart cells
Apamin, a bee venom polypeptide, was reported to block the naturally occurring Ca2+ slow action potentials (APs) in cultured cell reaggregates from old chick hearts [Bkaily, G. et al. Am. J. Physiol. 248 (Heart Circ. Physiol.

Apamin suppresses the elevated network activity produced by exposure to low EtOH.
A, the progress of the experiment; initially the culture was exposed to 0.25% and then to 0.5% EtOH, which produced a sustained rise in network activity. Further, the addition of 40 nM apamin caused a return to baseline network activity.

Cell-Cycle-Dependent Regulation of Ca2+-Activated K+ Channel in Jurkat T-Lymphocyte
Small-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (SK2) channel plays an important role in the activation of Jurkat T-lymphocytes by maintaining electrical gradients for the sustained Ca2+ influx. Apamin-sensitive K+ current was significantly decreased with cell-cycle

Effect of apamin on ISK2 in transfected HEK 293 cells.
(A) The representative ISK2 tracings obtained by the descending voltage ramp protocol shown in the inset before (a) and after (b) apamin at time points indicated by arrows a and b in (B). (B) The time course of ISK2 at 0 mV.

Activity-Dependent Plasticity of Spike Pauses in Cerebellar Purkinje Cells
The plasticity of intrinsic excitability has been described in several types of neurons, but the significance of non-synaptic mechanisms in brain plasticity and learning remains elusive. Cerebellar Purkinje cells are inhibitory neurons that spontaneously

We present in this manuscript for the first time the electrochemical and statistical evaluation of FPLC isolation of mellitin and apamin from honey bee (Apis mellifera) venom. Venoms are extremely complex blends of diverse substances that target a myriad

Increase of apamin receptors in skeletal muscle induced by colchicine: possible role in myotonia
We have shown an increase of apamin receptors in rat skeletal muscle membranes following the application of colchicine to the sciatic nerve. 125I-apamin binding to partially purified membrane fractions was observed since day 4, reached a maximum around ...
