Abstract
Methods of reducing the excitability of an excitable cell by transforming an excitable cell with a nucleic acid construct encoding an open rectifier Kchannel (dORK) (SEQ ID NO:2) or a modified open rectifier Kchannel (dORKΔ) (SEQ ID NO:4), and expressing the open rectifier Kchannel in the excitable cell, wherein the excitability of the transformed cell is reduced. Also featured are transgenic animals expressing dORK or dORKΔ.
