Lipids modulate the increase of BK channel calcium sensitivity by the β1 subunit.

Lipids modulate the increase of BK channel calcium sensitivity by the β1 subunit.

Co-expression of the auxiliary β1 subunit with the pore forming α subunit of BK dramatically alters apparent calcium sensitivity. Investigation of the mechanism underlying the increase in calcium sensitivity of BK in smooth muscle has concentrated on the energetic effect of β1's interaction wit...
