[Demonstration of a large-conduction ion channel in subcellular fractions of the adrenal medulla].
The "tip-dip" technique (formation of a lipid bilayer at the tip of a microelectrode) allows the electrophysiological study of organelle membranes. An ionic channel of large conductance has been found by this technique in membrane preparations from adrenal medulla. This channel is voltage-sensitive and it has 4 levels of conductance. Its subcellular origin is to be determined; it is borne by a structure which sediments between 1,500 and 25,000 X g.
