HERG-Like Potassium Current Regulates the Resting Membrane Potential in Glomus Cells of the Rabbit Carotid Body

open access: yes, 2000
Direct evidence for a specific K+ channel underlying the resting membrane potential in glomus cells of the carotid body has been absent. The product of the human ether-a-go-go–related gene (HERG) produces inward rectifier currents that are known to ...
