The Large-Conductance, Calcium-Activated Potassium Channel: A Big Key Regulator of Cell Physiology
Large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels facilitate the efflux of K+ ions from a variety of cells and tissues following channel activation. It is now recognized that BK channels undergo a wide range of pre- and post-translational modifications that can dramatically alter their properties and fun...
