Detrusor Smooth Muscle KV7 Channels: Emerging New Regulators of Urinary Bladder Function

Relaxation and contraction of the urinary bladder smooth muscle, also known as the detrusor smooth muscle (DSM), facilitate the micturition cycle. DSM contractility depends on cell excitability, which is established by the synchronized activity of multiple diverse ion channels. K+ channels, the larg...
