Abstract excerpt
The large-conductance calcium-activated potassium (BKCa) channel, which is crucial for urinary bladder smooth muscle relaxation, is a potential target for overactive bladder treatment. Our prior work unveiled CTIBD as a promising BKCa channel activator, altering V 1/2 and G max This study investigates CTIBD's activation mechanism, revealing its independence from the Ca2+ and membrane voltage sensing of the BKCa...
