Selectivity of ShK-170 and ShK-192 determined by patch-clamp

Data are shown as mean ± S.E.M. Current block was measured at 40 mV for Kv1.x and Kv3.2 currents (Beeton et al., 2001b) and at both 20 mV and −50 mV for KV11.1 currents (Zhou et al., 1998). For KCa3.1 currents, we measured the change in slope conductance at −80 mV (Wulff et al., 2003).
