Abstract excerpt
Large conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK) channels modulate many physiological processes including neuronal excitability, synaptic transmission and regulation of myogenic tone. A gain-of-function (E/D) mutation in the pore-forming alpha subunit (Slo1) of the BK channel was recently identified and is linked to human neurological diseases of coexistent generalized epilepsy and paroxysmal dyskinesia. Here we...
