Abstract excerpt
BK channel, the large conductance calcium-activated potassium channel, plays an important role in negative feedback regulation of membrane potential and relaxation in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) due to its high conductance, voltage and calcium sensitivity. However, the role of the BK channel in VSMC fate, particularly during the chronic process of cardiovascular disease (CVD) development, is not fully...
