Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) metastases are the main cause of CRC mortality. Intracellular Ca2+ regulates cell migration and invasion, key factors for metastases. Ca2+ also activates Ca2+-dependent potassium channels which in turn affect Ca2+ driving force. We have previously reported that the expression of the Ca2+ activated potassium channel KCNN4 (SK4) is higher in CRC primary tumors compared to normal...
