General description

Cesium methanesulfonate is used as a component of intracellular recording solutions of electrodes for patch clamp techniques in cell electrophysiology studies. Cesium methanesulfonate is used as an current carrier as cesium acts as a potassium (K+) channel blocker, while methanesulfonate is not transported through chloride (Cl-) channels.

Application

Cesium methanesulfonate has been used as a supplement in intracellular solution for the patch clamp recording system.

Using the whole-cell recording technique, we have examined the slow Ca(2+)-activated afterhyperpolarization (AHP) and its underlying current (IAHP) in hippocampal CA1 neurones of brain slices obtained from mature rats. Specifically we have studied the effects of the anion component of

The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that cADP-ribose (cADPR) increases Ca(2+) release through activation of ryanodine receptors (RYR) on the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in coronary arterial smooth muscle cells (CASMCs). We reconstituted RYR from the SR of
