Channel behavior in a gamma-aminobutyrate transporter
Abstract
Current produced by a gamma-aminobutyrate (GABA) transporter stably transfected into a mammalian cell line was observed in cell-attached and excised membrane patches. When GABA was absent, a fraction of the transporters produced cation-permeable channels. When GABA plus Na+ was on either side of the membrane, the majority of transporters produced a high-frequency current noise attributed to the movement of ions in an occluded pore.
