Abstract
The invention relates to processes for identifying inhibitors and activators of eukaryotic potassium channels, in which a mutatedcell is used whose endogenous potassium channels TRK1, TRK2 and TOK1 are not expressed functionally, but which expresses heterologously a eukaryotic potassium channel to be studied. Other subject matters of the invention are mutatedcells which do not express TRK1, TRK2 and TOK1, and the preparation and use of these mutatedcells.
