Abstract
NGK2 (mKv3.1a) K+ channel cDNA was introduced into mouse B82 fibroblast cells to express in a mammalian system. The NGK2 current in the stably transformed fibroblast cells exhibited a high threshold for activation and slow decay with two components. The data suggest that the NGK2 channel may contribute to slowly inactivating K+ currents observed in excitable and inexcitable cells.
