Spontaneously occurring single APs in β2 KO CCs exhibit slowed repolarization and persistent afterdepolarizations. (A) Traces are averaged spontaneous APs for BKi and β2 KO (red) CCs. APs from individual cells were aligned on the time of peak AP potential. β2 KO cells exhibit reduced peak AP amplitude and a pronounced depolarizing afterpotential. (B) Traces compare spontaneous APs in BKi and BKs, revealing a reduced AHP in the BKs cells. (C) APs from BKi and Slo1 KO CCs are shown, revealing a larger peak amplitude and prolonged repolarization phase in the Slo1 KO cells.
