Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor-channels (AChR) are believed to be the target site of cartap. In order to clarify the mechanisms of the cartap interaction with nicotinic AChRs, singlechannel patch clamp experiments were performed using rat clonal phaeochromocytoma (PC12) cells. Cartap increased the
Excision of membrane patches from clonal BC3H1 cells to the inside-out configuration reduces the mean open time and burst duration of skeletal muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. The channel conductance is not altered. Our results indicate that the rates for several steps in receptor activatio
