BK channels: multiple sensors, one activation gate

BK channels: multiple sensors, one activation gate

Ion transport across cell membranes is essential to cell communication and signaling. Passive ion transport is mediated by ion channels, membrane proteins that create ion conducting pores across cell membrane to allow ion flux down electrochemical gradient. Under physiological conditions, majority o...
