... is mediated by the activation of histamine-gated chloride channels (HCLs). These histaminergic synapses have been assumed to be conserved among insect visual systems. However, our understanding of the channels in question has thus far been based on studies in flies. In the butterfly Papilio xuthus , we have...

... CsCl (55.2±15.9 mS cm –2 ) were not changed. Besides blocking chloride channels, basolateral application of NPPB at 50 μmol l –1 also inhibited J Rb B→A effluxes, suggesting a possible interaction of potassium channels with NPPB-sensitive chloride channels ( Fig. 7 ). J Rb B→A fluxes were...

...Qais Al-Awqati; Jonathan Barasch; Donald Landry ABSTRACT Chloride channels were previously purified from bovine kidney cortex membranes using a drug affinity column. Reconstitution of the purified proteins into artificial liposomes and planar bilayers yielded chloride channels. A 64× 10M r protein...

... , linked to a chloride channel. The pharmacological properties of this site are broadly similar to those of the chloride-channel-linked receptors identified on molluscan neurones, crustacean neurones and locust muscle, but with a number of important differences, notably the effects of γ-DGG and L-APB...
