Activation of Inward Rectifier K+ Channel 2.1 by PDGF-BB in Rat Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells through Protein Kinase A
Figure 3
Effects of PDGF-BBRα (-) and PDGF-BBRβ (-) on PDGF-BB-mediated activation of Kir2.1 currents. (a) Original tracings illustrating currents determined in RASMCs. Em was held at -80 mV, and pulse potentials were applied from -150 mV to 0 mV. (b) Arithmetic () of current-voltage relationship curves. (c) Arithmetic () of the current amplitude at -150 mV of Kir2.1 currents in PDGF-BB; PDGF-BBRα (-). vs. PDGF-BB; PDGF-BBRβ (-). vs. PDGF-BB.
