Chemotransduction in the carotid body : K+ current modulated by PO2 in type I chemoreceptor cells

The ionic currents of carotid body type I cells and their possible involvement in the detection of oxygen tension (Po2) in arterial blood are unknown. The electrical properties of these cells were studied with the whole-cell patch clamp technique, and the hypothesis that ionic conductances can be al...
