Saturation behavior of single, amiloride-sensitive Na+ channels in planar lipid bilayers.

Olans L , Sariban-Sohraby S , Benos DJ .


???displayArticle.abstract???
Single epithelial Na+ channels incorporated into planar lipid bilayers were studied to determine the effects of Na concentration on its own conductance. Amiloride-sensitive Na+ channels were obtained from apical membrane vesicles made from A6 cells, a continuous epithelial cell-line derived from amphibian kidney. Single-channel conductance was found to be a saturable function of Na+ concentration, with a Michaelis constant of approximately 17 or 47 mM, for a Gmax of approximately 4 or 44 pS, respectively.
