Non-selective cation channels mediate chloroquine-induced relaxation in precontracted mouse airway smooth muscle.

Non-selective cation channels mediate chloroquine-induced relaxation in precontracted mouse airway smooth muscle.

Bitter tastants can induce relaxation in precontracted airway smooth muscle by activating big-conductance potassium channels (BKs) or by inactivating voltage-dependent L-type Ca2+ channels (VDLCCs). In this study, a new pathway for bitter tastant-induced relaxation was defined and investigated. We f...
