Helothermine, a recently isolated toxin from the venom of the Mexican beaded lizard Heloderma horridum horridum was tested on K+ currents of newborn rat cerebellar granule cells. In whole-cell voltage-clamp experiments, cerebellar granule neurons exhibited at least two different K+ current component
Macroscopic potassium currents were studied in cell-attached and inside-out patches from rat cerebellar granule cells. They were related with transient IA type potassium channels. Currents activated rapidly at potentials higher than -40 mV and did not inactivate completely. The magnitude of the curr
