[Jennifer Deegan (nee Clark)]

Hi,

Does anybody know what 'rectifier' means in these terms names? We are 
trying to define the terms as they're currently undefined and we don't 
know how to interpret this one word.

ATP-activated inward rectifier potassium channel activity    GO:0015272

delayed rectifier potassium channel activity     GO:0005251

G-protein activated inward rectifier potassium channel activity 
GO:0015467

G-protein enhanced inward rectifier potassium channel activity 
GO:0015273

inward rectifier potassium channel activity     GO:0005242

open rectifier potassium channel activity     GO:0005252

outward rectifier potassium channel activity     GO:0015271

Thanks,

Jen
