Objectives Acidosis has an inhibitory effect on the inactivation of Kvl.4 AN channel through the position H508.So in order to show the effects of glutamic acid on the mutant Kv 1.4 channel that lacks N-type inactivation(Kvl.4A2-146),we studied in the expression system of the Xenopus oocytes.Methods The two-electrode voltage-clamp technique(TEV)was used to record the currents.Results Acidosis increased fKvl.4 △2-146 C-type inactivation.After application of glutamic acid(1 mmol/L) to Kvl.4 △2-146 increased C-type inactivation further,changed inactivation time constants from (2.02±0.39s)to(1.71±0.23 s)(P＜0.05)at +50my,and shifted the steadystate inactivation curves of Kvl.4 △N to positive potential,which was from(-44.30±0.59 mV) to(-39.88±0.29 mV)(P＜0.05 ).and slowed the rate of recovery from inactivation,which was from(1.64±0.19s) to (1.91±0.23 s)(P＜0.05).Conclusions Together,these results suggest that 1 mmol/L glutamic acid accelerates the Ctype inactivation of Kvl.4 AN in pH 6.8.
