Abstract excerpt
Tamoxifen has been reported to directly activate large conductance calcium-activated potassium (KCa) channels through the KCa beta1 subunit, suggesting a cardio-protective role of this compound. The present study using knock-out (KO) mice for the KCa channel beta1 subunit was aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms of the effects of tamoxifen on arterial smooth muscle KCa channels. Single channel studies...
