Effects of intracellular magnesium on Kv1.5 and Kv2.1 potassium channels.

We characterized the effects of intracellular Mg(2+) (Mg(2+) (i)) on potassium currents mediated by the Kv1.5 and Kv2.1 channels expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Increase in Mg(2+) (i) caused a voltage-dependent block of the current amplitude, apparent acceleration of the current kinetics (explained by...
