A general model for the transfer of ions and molecules between two cells via a gap junction is presented. This constitutes a dynamical system consisting of two connected parts: the dynamics of intracellular concentrations and electrical potentials, and the dynamics of the gating in the gap junction.
The effect of quinidine on the membrane current generated by the Na:Ca,K exchange has been investigated in the outer segment of isolated rod photoreceptors from the retina of the larval tiger salamander. The inward exchange current associated with the efflux of Ca 2+ was selectively recorded by intr
