Summary of the voltage-dependent properties of T-currents recorded in fusion competent myoblasts and small myotubes

	Fusion-competent myoblasts, n = 11	Myotubes, n = 15
Cell capacity	37  ± 7 pF	139  ± 12 pF
Maximum conductance	0.27  ± 0.05 nS	3.18  ±  0.66 nS
Activation curve: Vo and Q	−42  ± 2 mV and 4.6 ± 0.2 e.c.	−42  ±  1 mV and 5.3 ± 0.3 e.c.
Inactivation curve: Vo and Q	−63  ± 2 mV and 5.9 ± 0.5 e.c.	−65.1  ±  1 mV and 5.9 ± 0.4 e.c.
Vm for maximum window current	−58  ± 2 mV	−57  ±  1 mV
Maximum window current size	−0.37  ± 0.08 pA	−2.57  ±  0.64 pA

Ca²⁺ (1.8 mM) was used as a charge carrier. V_o is the voltage of half-activation of half-inactivation, Q is the gating charge and is expressed as a multiple of the elementary charge (e.c.), and V_m is the membrane potential.
