COMMENT Ih current - hyperpolarization-activated nonspecific Na and K channel - contributes to the resting membrane potential - controls the afterhyperpolarization Reference: 1.

V1/2 = -84.1 mV k = 10.2 reversal potential = -32.9 +/- 1.1 mV at -70 mV, currents were fitted by a single exponetial of t = 2.8+/- 0.76 s at -120 mV, two exponentials were required, t1 = 186.3+/-33.6 ms t2 = 1.04+/-0.16 s 2.
