Analysing steroid modulation of BK(Ca) channels reconstituted into planar lipid bilayers.

A number of recent studies have described the activation of BK(Ca) channels by steroid hormones such as estrogen. The proposed mechanisms are diverse and include both the direct interaction with the ion channel subunits and the stimulation via receptor activation and cell signalling pathways. To inv...
