✦ Synopsis


Using whole-cell patch-clamp techniques, we demonstrate, for the first time, that rat submandibular acinar cells contain a tetraethylammonium (TEA)-insensitive, Ca2+-activated K + conductance which is not attributable to large conductance, voltage-sensitive, Ca2+-dependent K+ channels (maxi-K+ channels). Taken together with our recent K + efflux and fluid secretion studies in intact rat submandibular gland, we postulate that the K Β§ conductance reported here may be involved in the basolateral K + efflux pathway activated by cytosolic Ca2+ concentration during secretion by this gland.

Acetylcholine (ACh) caused repetitive transient CI-currents activated by intracellular Caz+ in single rat submandibular grand acinar cells. As the concentration of ACh increased the amplitude and the frequency of the transient CI-currents increased. These responses occurred also in the absence of ex
