Figure Lengend Snippet: NHA1is electroneutral and does not exhibit voltage-dependence. Nha1 was expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes and compared to uninjected oocytes (Empty control). Currents activated by the depicted voltage-clamp protocol in Kulori’s solution (control), in 0 mM K + , 0 mM Na + and in pH 8.5. ( A ) Voltage-clamp protocol and representative currents recorded from empty controls and Nha1 injected oocytes. ( B ) Mean currents plotted as a function of voltage, n=6-8.
Article Snippet: The PCR products were subsequently cloned into pGEMHE Xenopus laevis oocyte expression vector using In-Fusion ® HD cloning kit (TaKaRa Bio Inc, Kusatsu, JP) and the final sequence validated (Eurofin, Luxemburg, LU).
