Advances in BK Channel Research
Remigio, Wilton
The last 20 years of research into ion channels field has unraveled unexpected features of the big potassium channel (BKCa ) as a rheostast for cell activity in excitable tissues and a key player in homeostatically fine tuning many biological activation processes in these cell. Great attention has been dedicated to the allosteric regulatory mecanisms by which the BKCa channel is activated or inhibited. Most of these mechanisms point to the inv...
