An investigation of the properties of large-conductance Ca^2+-activated K^+ channels of rat arterial smooth muscle and their modulation by vasoconstrictors
Large-conductance Ca^2+ -activated K^+ (BKCa) channels play an important role in the regulation of vascular tone. They are activated by membrane depolarization and increases in local Ca^2+ concentration ([Ca^2+]). Their location in the plasma membrane allows them to be activated by transient release...
