Functional Characteristics Click here for help
γ = 0.5-5 pS; permeability sequence, SCN- > NO3 -> I- > Br- > Cl- > F-; relative permeability of SCN-:Cl- ~8. I-:Cl- ~3, aspartate:Cl- ~0.15, outward rectification (decreased by increasing [Ca2+]i); sensitivity to activation by [Ca2+]i decreased at hyperpolarized potentials; slow activation at positive potentials (accelerated by increasing [Ca2+]i); rapid deactivation at negative potentials, deactivation kinetics modulated by anions binding to an external site; modulated by redox status
