Figure 5.

The ethanol response of β2-IR–containing BK channels is similar to the ethanol response of cbv1+β1 channels. (A) V0.5 versus [Ca2+]i plot showing that the activation to inhibition crossover for ethanol effect on cbv1+β2-IR channels occurs at ≈3 µM Ca2+i, as found with cbv1±β1 (Fig. 3 D) and wt β2 (Fig. 4 C). (B) Bar graph showing ethanol-induced change in V0.5 values from control obtained at 0.3 and 100 µM Ca2+i. n = 4–6 patches; each patch was excised from a different cell. *, different from control (P < 0.05); **, different from control (P < 0.01). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM.
