Abstract

The expression pattern of K(+) currents is the principal regulator of electrical activity during development of the nervous and muscular system. We report here a study showing the expression pattern of HERG K(+) currents-encoding (erg) genes in various nervous and muscular tissues at different stages of quail embryo development.
