Activation GV relations were collected from oocytes held at −80 mV and subjected to 2 s depolarizing steps to +50 mV in 10 mV increments followed by a 2 s step to −110 mV. Deactivation GV relations were collected from oocytes held at −80 mV and subjected to a 500 ms depolarizing step +60 mV followed by 8 s steps from –110 mV to +40 mV in 10 mV increments followed by a repolarizing step to −110 mV. Boltzmann fits were used to obtain the Vh and k values. Deactivation τ was obtained by fitting the deactivation tail current decay with a double exponential function. The value τfast is reported, because current decay at −110 mV was dominated (>85%) by the fast component.
