Voltage-clamp analysis of the voltage-gated sodium current of the rat pituitary melanotroph.

Abstract:

:By using the whole-cell recording technique the Na+ current in cultured melanotrophs of the adult rat pituitary was studied. The Na+ current was eliminated by 1 microM TTX and its equilibrium potential confirmed that it was carried predominantly by Na+. The activation threshold was near -40 mV and half-maximal activation occurred at approximately -23 mV. The peak amplitude of 640 +/- 110 pA (n = 8) occurred near -10 mV. Steady-state half-inactivation occurred near -50 mV. Recovery from inactivation at -70 mV was biexponential: approximately half of the channels recovered with a time constant of 13 ms whereas the slower phase of recovery had a time constant of 430 ms. These properties of the Na+ current are discussed in relation to its role in cell firing and hormone secretion.
