The Selective Inhibition of Delayed Potassium Currents in Nerve by Tetraethylammonium Ion

The effect of tetraethylammonium ion (TEA) on the voltage clamp currents of nodes of Ranvier of frog myelinated nerve fibers is studied. The delayed K currents can be totally abolished by TEA without affecting the transient Na currents or the leakage current in any way. Both inward and outward curr...
