Experiments are reviewed here in which Na/K pump current was determined as strophanthidin-sensitive current in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes, voltage-clamped and internally-dialyzed via wide-tipped pipettes. In the presence of 150 mM extracellular [Na], both outward and inward pump current, during

During the last years we have examined structure-function relationships in the Na + /K + -ATPase with respect to interactions of the external cations with the pump molecule. We have analysed in voltage-clamp experiments the influence of extracellular Na + and K + on the current generated by Na + /K
The effect of forskolin on voltage-activated Na + and K + currents in nodes of Ranvier from the toad, Bufo marinus, has been examined using the vaseline-gap voltageclamp technique. Peak Na + currents (INa) were reduced by 35 % and the rate of decline of Na + current during continuous depolarization
