Abstract
The permeation of labeled Cl− ions across single plasma membranes from Deiter's neurons has been studied in the presence of various concentrations of phosphatidylserine (PS) on their extracellular side. PS reduces significantly basal Cl− permeation only at 10−5 M on the membrane exterior. No effect was found at other concentrations. GABA activable36Cl− permeation is heavily reduced and almost abolished at 10−11–10−5 M phosphatidylserine. This exogenous phosphatidylserine effect is difficult to interpret in relation to the function of the endogenous phospholipid. However, it may be involved in the epileptogenic effect in vivo of exogenous phosphatidylserine administration to rats.
