β1-Subunit of MaxiK Channel in Smooth Muscle: a Key Molecule Which Tunes Muscle Mechanical Activity
The MaxiK channel is the large-conductance, voltage-dependent, and Ca2+-activated K+ channel. This channel is almost ubiquitously distributed among mammalian tissues including smooth muscles. The ability of MaxiK to work as a rheostat fine tuning membrane potential and intracellular Ca2+ enables it...
