... ), which probably mediates primary olfactory transduction. The CAN channel is never found in outer dendritic membranes, has slightly inwardly rectifying properties, is activated by patch excision, is gated by intracellular Ca 2+ and is inhibited by cyclic GMP. In contrast, the AC 1 channel seems...
