Figure 1

Total BK channel, and splice variant, mRNA expression in different regions of the murine CNS at postnatal day 35 (P35). a) Schematic illustrating location of site of splicing C2 and the STREX insert in the intracellular C-terminus of murine BK channel pore-forming α-subunits. The ZERO variant has no insert at site of splicing C2. b) Total BK channel mRNA expression (grey bars) in different regions of the CNS from 35-day old (P35) mice. Total BK channel mRNA expression is normalised to β-actin in each region and then displayed as a percentage of the expression in entorhinal cortex. Data are Means ± S.E.M, n = 5/tissue region. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, compared to entorhinal cortex, Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric test with post hoc Dunn's test for multiple comparisons. c) Proportion of ZERO (open bars) and STREX (black bars) mRNA transcripts, expressed as a percentage of total BK channel mRNA transcripts, in different CNS regions from P35 mice. All data are Means ± S.E.M, n = 5/tissue region.
