A novel oxygen-sensitive potassium current in rat carotid body type I cells.

1. Hypoxic stimuli depolarize carotid body type I cells causing voltage-gated calcium influx. This study investigates the cause of this membrane depolarization. Isolated type I cells from neonatal (11-16 day) rat carotid bodies were used in the experiments. 2. Tetraethylammonium (TEA; 10 mM), 1 and...
