The Guanylyl Cyclase Activator YC-1 Directly Inhibits the Voltage-Dependent K+ Channels in Rabbit Coronary Arterial Smooth Muscle Cells

We investigated the effects of YC-1, an activator of soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC), on voltage-dependent K+ (Kv) channels in smooth muscle cells from freshly isolated rabbit coronary arteries by using the whole-cell patch clamp technique. YC-1 inhibited the Kv current in a dose-dependent fashion wi...
