Abstract

Protein kinase modulation of gamma-aminobutyric acid C (GABA$_{c}$) currents in freshly dissociated catfish retinal cone-horizontal cell axon-terminals was studied under voltage clamp with the use of the whole cell patch-clamp technique. Responses to pulses of GABA were monitored in intracellular application of adenosin 3',5'-cycle monophophate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and protein kinase C (PKC) activators, and their inhibitors or inactive analogues.(omitted)d)
