Abstract excerpt
Large conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (BK channels) are unique in their ability to respond to two distinct physiological stimuli: intracellular Ca2+ and membrane depolarization. In neurons, these channels are activated through a coordinated response to both signals; however, for BK channels to respond to physiological voltage changes, elevated concentrations of intracellular Ca2+ (ranging from 1...
