  • K(M) channel, M-current K+ channel; GIRK, G protein-activated inwardly rectifying K+ channels

  • a Determined in perforated patch recording (Perf.), which avoids possible dialysis of some soluble cell components

  • b The percentage of the N-type Ca2+ current inhibition by P2Y action, which is blocked by PTX pre-treatment

  • c The G protein subunits which are proposed to act at N-type Ca2+ channels; in parentheses are the parent heterotrimeric G proteins deduced to provide the βγ subunits involved, this being noted only for the perforated patch state in which that is used; involvement of βγ (where tested) was stated by showing total prevention of channel closure by coexpressing excess Gα transducin

  • d The G protein subunit found to act at M-current K+ channels

  • e `Yes' denotes that the induced change occurs with agonist potencies similar to or greater than those known for other transductions of this receptor. `No' denotes that the induced charge is essentially absent; `Weak' denotes that the induced charge occurs but at greatly reduced agonist potency

  • f Highly sensitive to PTX pretreatment
