Functional insights into modulation of BK<sub>Ca</sub> channel activity to alter myometrial contractility

The large-conductance voltage- and Ca<sup>2+</sup>-activated K<sup>+</sup> channel (BK<sub>Ca</sub>) is an important regulator of membrane excitability in a wide variety of cells and tissues. In myometrial smooth muscle, activation of BK<sub>Ca</sub> p...
