Cloning and Characterization of Glioma BK, a Novel BK Channel Isoform Highly Expressed in Human Glioma Cells
1 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
Voltage-dependent large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels (BK channels) are widely expressed in excitable and nonexcitable cells. BK channels exhibit diverse electrophysiological properties, which are attributable in part to alternative splicing of their alpha-subunits. BK currents have been implicated in the growth control of glial cells, and BK channels with novel biophysical properties have recently been...
