Electrophysiologically distinct smooth muscle cell subtypes in rat conduit and resistance pulmonary arteries.
Pulmonary arteries (PAs), particularly those of the rat, demonstrate a prominent voltage-gated K+ (Kv) current (I(Kv)), which plays an important role in the regulation of the resting potential. No detailed characterization of electrophysiological and pharmacological properties of I(Kv), particularly...
