Augmentation of the Delayed Rectifier Potassium Current by ETA Endothelin Receptor in Guinea Pig Atrial Myocytes

The role of ETA endothelin receptor (ETAR) in the regulation of the delayed rectifier potassium current (IK) was examined in guinea pig atrial myocytes. Application of ET-1 (10 nM) together with an ETB-receptor-selective antagonist, BQ-788 (300 nM), significantly increased the voltage-dependent acti...
