Effect of Phosphate Ions on Biophysical Properties of Rat Hepatocytes Endoplasmic Reticulum Potassium Channel

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Rough endoplasmic reticulum is important organelle that plays a role in the regulation of a range of functions. Potassium channels in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane were recently reported that its physiological role is unknown. Hepatocyte endoplasmic reticulum is a rich...
