Abstract
Nucleic acids encoding mammalian 'KGA' potassium channels are provided. Vectors and transformed host cells are also provided. The KGA channels exhibit inward rectification and are activated by a G-protein. The products of the invention are useful in screening assays to identify modulators of the KGA channel and in methods for identifying or preparing nucleic acids encoding the KGA channel or related potassium channels.
