<i>KCNMA1</i> -linked channelopathy
2019-08-19
Abstract excerpt
KCNMA1 encodes the pore-forming α subunit of the ‘Big K + ’ (BK) large conductance calcium and voltage-activated K + channel. BK channels are widely distributed across tissues, including both excitable and non-excitable cells. Expression levels are highest in brain and muscle, where BK channels are critical regulators of neuronal excitability and muscle contractility. A global deletion in mouse ( KCNMA1 –/– )...
