The effect of divalent cations on IK(f) : a transient outward potassium current expressed in melanotrophs of the rat pituitary gland

Divalent cations are known to exert a charge screening effect on voltage-gated ion channels either through non-specific interactions with fixed negative charges on the cell membrane or via binding to negatively charged sites on or electrically close to the channel forming protein. In some instanc...
