Primary structure of Torpedo marmorata chloride channel isolated by expression cloning in Xenopus oocytes.
A complementary DNA encoding a voltage-gated chloride channel from Torpedo marmorata electric organ was cloned by expressing hybrid-depleted messenger RNA in Xenopus oocytes. The predicted protein has a sequence of 805 amino acids containing several putative membrane-spanning domains. Expression of the protein in Xenopus oocytes shows that it is sufficient for channel function.
