Volume-Regulatory Ion Channels in Epithelial Cells

Abstract

Patch-clamp studies showed that the regulatory volume decrease process is closely associated with functions of K+, Cl-, and Ca2+-permeable channels in epithelial cells. Na+-permeable channels in the regulatory volume increase process may also be involved, as deduced from whole cell recordings using intestinal epithelial cells.
