The depolarization-activated current of intercalated cells in the distal nephron was detected for the first time, and the type of ion channel mediating the current was identified based on electrophysiological and pharmacological properties. The whole-cell current of distal nephron in kidney of C57BL/6J mice was recorded by Axon MultiClamp 700B patch-clamp system, and the effects of several K channel inhibitors on the depolarization-activated current in intercalated cells were observed. In addition, the immunofluorescence technique was used to investigate the localization of the channel in intercalated cells.
