All measurements were performed at a holding potential of −80 mV. The statistical analyses indicated by superscript letters a and b were conducted using Student’s unpaired t test and Fisher’s exact probability test, respectively. cThe sEPSC decay phases were fitted with a single exponential function. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.001 between GFP alone and R424H mutant. †P < 0.05, ††P < 0.001 between WT mKv3.3 and R424H mutant.
