Xenopus oocytes as a heterologous expression system for studying ion channels with the patch-clamp technique.
Oocytes from the Xenopus laevis represent one of the most widely used expression systems for functional characterization of ion channels. Their large size facilitates both injection of heterologous cRNA and subsequent electrophysiological recordings of ion channel currents. Furthermore, Xenopus oocy...
