1. Properties of the voltage-dependent anion-selective channel in cultured smooth muscle cells of the rat aorta were studied using the patch-clamp technique. 2. The channel had a single channel conductance of 346 +/- 4 pS (n = 43, mean +/- SEM) with symmetrical 142 mM-Cl- solution in inside-out patch configurations. 3. The channel was activated spontaneously at a potential range -20 approximately +20 mV and inactivated more rapidly with increases to more positive or negative potentials. 4. The channel was selective for anions and the permeability ratio for monovalent anion was Br-:Cl-:HCOO-:CH3COO-:propionate-:aspartate- = 1.1:1:0.7:0.4: less than 0.02: less than 0.02. 5. The openings of the channels were observed more frequently in inside-out membrane patches than in cell-attached ones, and were independent of intracellular free Ca concentrations. 6. The density of this channel was estimated to be 1.3/micron2. 7. Physiological roles of the channel were discussed.
