Current understanding of iberiotoxin-resistant BK channels in the nervous system
While most large-conductance, calcium- and voltage-activated potassium channels (BK or Maxi-K type) are blocked by the scorpion venom iberiotoxin, the so-called type II subtype has the property of toxin resistance. This property is uniquely mediated by channel assembly with one member of the BK acce...
