Clinical Importance of the Human Umbilical Artery Potassium Channels
Potassium (K<sup>+</sup>) channels are usually predominant in the membranes of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs). These channels play an important role in regulating the membrane potential and vessel contractility—a role that depends on the vascular bed. Thus, the activity of K<sup&...
