• the hearts and brains of homozygous null mice displayed no morphological or histological abnormalities
• cerebral arteries from wild-type and homozygous null mice constricted to the same degree to intravascular pressure (80 mm Hg)
• Ba2+-sensitive K+-induced dilations were similar in pressurized cerebral arteries from wild-type and homozygous null adult mice; both control and homozygous null arteries dilated when the extracellular K+ concentration was increased from 6 to 15 mmol/L
