2020, NeuronCitation Excerpt :To determine the extent to which IKx and Ih account for the difference in membrane conductivity between foveal and peripheral cones, the sizes of these currents at −67 mV (the voltage used for recordings that were the basis of passive compartmental models) was interpolated from the current-voltage relation of each cell. The current at −67 mV was multiplied by a correction factor of 2.5 for IKx (accounting for ∼40% efficacy of 10 mM TEA block) (Beech and Barnes, 1989) and 1.1 for Ih (accounting for ∼10% block by 300 μM barium; see above). These currents were converted to conductance using a reversal potential of −93 mV for IKx (the Nernst potential for K+ in our recording conditions) and −30 mV for Ih (Biel et al., 2009).

2019, Progress in Retinal and Eye ResearchCitation Excerpt :IKx shares a number of similarities with M-type K+ currents (Kv7) and there is evidence for M-type Kv7 channels in cone inner segments from immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization (Zhang et al., 2011). However, IKx shows a different pharmacological profile from M-type currents, being more sensitive to Ba2+, insensitive to acetylcholine and LHRH, and insensitive to a Kv7 blocker XE991 (Beech and Barnes, 1989; Gayet-Primo et al., 2018). In situ hybridization suggests the presence of ether-a-gogo-related (EAG; Kv11) channels in the inner segments of bovine rods (Frings et al., 1998).
