Article Synopsis
- Cardiac myocytes from Crassostrea gigas show multiple types of voltage-activated ionic currents, including a non-inactivating potassium current (IK type), a rapidly activating and inactivating potassium current (IA type), and a calcium-dependent potassium current.
- The study identifies L-type calcium currents in most cells, with T-type calcium currents and fast sodium currents present only in some cells, suggesting these channels are largely inactive in cultured conditions.
- The findings indicate that these oyster cells offer a valuable model for studying ionic currents similar to those in vertebrates, and their electrical properties remain stable even after freezing and thawing, enhancing their utility for bioassays.
