The Impact of BK Channels on Cellular Excitability Depends on their Subcellular Location.

Frontiers in cellular neuroscience

Bock T, Stuart GJ.
PMID: 27630543
Front Cell Neurosci. 2016 Aug 31;10:206. doi: 10.3389/fncel.2016.00206. eCollection 2016.

Large conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (or BK channels) fulfil a multitude of roles in the central nervous system. At the soma of many neuronal cell types they control the speed of action potential (AP) repolarization and therefore they can...

Large-Conductance Calcium-Activated Potassium Channels in Glomerulus: From Cell Signal Integration to Disease.

Frontiers in physiology

Tao J, Lan Z, Wang Y, Hei H, Tian L, Pan W, Zhang X, Peng W.
PMID: 27445840

Large-Conductance Calcium-Activated Potassium Channels and Voltage-Dependent Sodium Channels in Human Cementoblasts.

Frontiers in physiology

Kamata S, Kimura M, Ohyama S, Yamashita S, Shibukawa Y.
PMID: 33959036
Front Physiol. 2021 Apr 20;12:634846. doi: 10.3389/fphys.2021.634846. eCollection 2021.

Cementum, which is excreted by cementoblasts, provides an attachment site for collagen fibers that connect to the alveolar bone and fix the teeth into the alveolar sockets. Transmembrane ionic signaling, associated with ionic transporters, regulate various physiological processes in...

Carbon monoxide activates large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels of human cardiac fibroblasts through various mechanisms.

Front Physiol. 2020 Jul 31;11:956. doi: 10.3389/fphys.2020.00956. eCollection 2020.

Quercetin has attracted more attention in recent years due to its protective role against ischemia/reperfusion injury. Quercetin can alleviate oxidative stress injury through the inhibition of NADPH oxidase and xanthine oxidase, blockage of the Fenton reaction, and scavenging of...

BK Channel Dysfunction in Diabetic Coronary Artery: Role of the E3 Ubiquitin Ligases.

Frontiers in physiology

Qian LL, Liu XY, Yu ZM, Wang RX.
PMID: 32547406
