Calcium‐induced calcium release in proximity to hair cell BK channels revealed by PKA activation

Abstract Large‐conductance calcium‐activated potassium (BK) channels play a critical role in electrical resonance, a mechanism of frequency selectivity in chicken hair cells. We determine that BK currents are dependent on inward flow of Ca2+, and intracellular buffering of Ca2+. Entry of Ca2+ is fur...
