title: Two components of GABA-induced currents in catfish retinal horizontal cells.
abstract: In cone-driven horizontal cells dissociated from the catfish retina, we recorded GABA-induced currents by using a whole-cell voltage-clamp technique. The current consisted of two components. The major component was blocked by picrotoxin, but not by bicuculline, and was identified as a current flowing through the GABAC receptor channel. The second minor component was identified as a current carried by an electrogenic GABA transporter.
