K(Ca)3.1 channel-blockade attenuates airway pathophysiology in a sheep model of chronic asthma.
The Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel K(Ca)3.1 is expressed in several structural and inflammatory airway cell types and is proposed to play an important role in the pathophysiology of asthma. The aim of the current study was to determine whether inhibition of K(Ca)3.1 modifies experimental asthma in sh...
