## Abstract Na~x~ is a sodium channel, thought to be a descendant of the voltageโgated sodium channel family. Nevertheless, Na~x~ is not activated by voltage but rather by augmentation of extracellular sodium over 150 mM. In the brain, it is localized to the circumventricular organs, important regi
Xenopus laevis oocytes injected with Poly(A) + -RNA isolated from neuronal tissue express membrane proteins peculiar to the origin of mRNA. The translation of gamma aminobutyric acid type A (GABA A ) receptors has been shown by dose/ response behavior of GABA and the reversible blockade of the GABA-
## Abstract We previously showed inhibition of K~ir~2 inward rectifier K^+^ channels expressed in __Xenopus__ oocytes by the mitochondrial agents carbonyl cyanide pโtrifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP) and sodium azide. Mutagenesis studies suggested that FCCP may act via phosphatidylinositol 4,5โ
