Voltage‐clamp experiments were performed at 18 degrees C in intact twitch muscle fibres of the frog using the three micro‐electrode technique. Membrane currents were recorded in the presence of 120 mM‐tetraethylammonium‐methanesulphonate and 10 mM‐Ca2+. The recording solution was made hypertonic by adding 350 mM‐sucrose to avoid contraction. Two components of inward current in the absence of external Na+ were observed. Depolarization induced a fast‐activated inward current of small amplitude in addition to the well‐known slow, transient Ca2+ current (ICa,s). Both components of inward current persisted in the presence of tetrodotoxin. They practically disappeared on replacing external Ca2+ with Mg2+ and were blocked by millimolar additions of Cd2+ to the bath. Thus, the fast‐activated component of inward current was also carried by Ca2+ (ICa,f). Neither ICa,f nor ICa,s were reduced by 5 microM‐diltiazem. During 400 ms depolarizations ICa,f was detected at approximately ‐60 mV, 30 mV more negative than the membrane potentials at which ICa,s appeared. At about 0 mV the time constant for activation was 5 ms for ICa and 150 ms for ICa,s. ICa,f did not significantly decline during depolarizations up to 2s in duration at membrane potentials between ‐60 and ‐30 mV. ICa,f tended to disappear as a function of time on exposure to the hypertonic recording solution. Its maximum amplitude decreased from about ‐25 microA/cm2 during the first 5 min to about ‐5 microA/cm2 after 25 min while ICa.s remained practically unchanged (maximum peak amplitude of about ‐60 microA/cm2). These results indicate the existence of two types of voltage‐dependent CA2+ channels in intact muscle fibres. The kinetic properties of fast‐activated Ca2+ channels suggest that they significantly activate during a single twitch.
