Example sentences for: rectifier
How can you use “rectifier” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
4-aminopyridine, at millimolar concentrations, completely inhibits K +currents conducted by heterologously expressed KCNA channels and native GC I Kur , but lacks significant effects on native GC I Ks [ 4 12 13 20 ] . Kusaka showed that antagonism of 4-AP sensitive slowly inactivating delayed rectifier K +currents suppressed both basal and luteinizing hormone (LH)-stimulated progesterone production [ 21 ] . In this report, we extend those findings by demonstrating 4-AP inhibition of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)-stimulated progesterone production, and by elucidating the underlying mechanisms.
In addition we have identified genes that encode the Shaker β-subunit, two members of the KQT family of K +channels, as well as three Slo-family genes, three Eag-family genes, and six inward rectifier K +-channel genes.
4-AP-sensitive delayed rectifier K +current in PGC-2.
Another family of two-transmembrane K +channels called inward rectifier K +channels exists as well.
Voltage-gated K +currents with distinct electrophysiological and pharmacological properties are present in granulosa cells (GC), and modulate resting membrane potential [ 4 12 13 16 17 ] . Furthermore, selective antagonism of GC K +channels with distinct molecular correlates, electrophysiological properties and expression patterns can influence differentially GC proliferation, steroidogenic capability, and apoptosis [ 17 18 ] . Our laboratory has previously identified two distinct delayed rectifier K +currents in pig GC: a slow current (I Ks ) associated with channels formed by co-assembly of KCNQ1 pore-forming and KCNE1 accessory proteins, and an ultra-rapid current (I Kur ) formed by co-assembly of KCNA pore-forming and KCNAB accessory proteins [ 4 ] . Moreover, we have shown that selective block of I Ks enhances basal progesterone synthesis, while complete block of both I Ks and I Kur accelerates apoptosis [ 18 ] .
