^* The duration of incubation after cRNA injection is given in hours.  

^‡ The whole-cell current was measured at −50 mV and 10 μM [Ca²⁺]₀, and was corrected for the background oocyte current.  

^§ The whole-cell conductance was measured as a chord conductance at −50 mV.  

^‖ The density of hemichannels (mean ± SEM) (excluding those in plaques) corresponds to the density of P face particles after correction for the density of the endogenous particles.  

^¶ BDL, below detection level.
