Abstract

The effect of inhibitors of calmodulin and protein kinase C, complex [AlF4], and potassium channel blockers on the parameters of calcium-induced hyperpolarization in human erythrocytes is studied by recording proton distribution between the cytoplasm and incubation medium in the presence of a protonophore. It is shown that the calmodulin inhibitor dis-C3-5, the protein kinase C inhibitor staurosporine, and the blocker of highconductance calcium-activated potassium channels considerably suppress the calciuminduced hyperpolarization in erythrocytes. High concentration of [AlF4] in the incubation medium inhibits hyperpolarization.
