Spatial separation of endothelial small- and intermediate-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (K(Ca)) and connexins: possible relationship to vasodilator function?
Activation of endothelial cell small- (S) and intermediate- (I) conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (K(Ca)) and current or molecular transfer via myoendothelial gap junctions underlies endothelium-derived hyperpolarization leading to vasodilation. The mechanism underlying the K(Ca) comp...
