✦ Synopsis

Voltage-gated, tetrodotoxin(TTX)-blockable sodium channels are found in most excitable cells and are the primary contributors to action potentials generated by many of these cells. To date, there has only been one report of a non-cultured vertebrate epithelial cell type containing TTX-blockable Na + channels: rabbit nonpigmented ciliary body epithelial cells [Cilluffo MC et al. (1991) Invest Opthalmol Vis Sci 32:1619-1629], and three reports of cultured epithelial cells containing TTXblockable Na + channels: rabbit non-pigmented and pigmented ciliary body epithelium [

In all Na(+)-absorbing and Cl(-)-secreting epithelia, an increase in the activity of the Na+,K(+)-pump at the basolateral membrane is accompanied by an increase in the K+ conductance of that barrier and vice versa. We have recently identified an ATP-regulated K+ channel, K(ATP), in basolateral membr
