Figure 2. Aglycoform displayed slower activation kinetics of ionic currents than glycoform.

Whole cell currents for glycosylated (A, middle panel; B, top panel) and unglycosylated (A and B, bottom panels) Kv3.1 proteins were elicited from the indicated voltage protocol (A, top panel). Whole cell currents were scaled for inactivating (A) and non-inactivating (B) current types from B35 cells expressing glycosylated and unglycosylated Kv3.1 proteins. Right panels show traces at expanded time scales and grey lines denote currents at +40 and +60 mV. Traces were scaled to show differences in activation kinetics. Conductance-voltage (g/gmax) curves of both inactivating (C) and non-inactivating (D) current types for glycosylated and unglycosylated Kv3.1 channels. Rise times of inactivating (E) and non-inactivating (F) currents types. n represents number of cells.
