Abstract excerpt
Bestrophin 3 (Best3), a member of bestrophin Cl channel family, is a CaCl(cGMP) channel candidate in vascular smooth muscle cells. The mechanism for its activation remains unclear. In previous studies, we reported that an autoinhibitory domain ((356)IPSFLGS(362)) existed in Best3 C-terminus and when the autoinhibitory domain was mutated, the Best3 channel was dramatically activated. In this study, we further...
