[Research advance of large conductance Ca(2+)-activated K+ channels in cardiovascular system].
The large conductance Ca(2+)-activated potassium channels (BK(Ca) channels), an important class of ion channels in cell membrane, are widely expressed in each part of the body including cardiovascular system, and play an important role in regulating cardiovascular activity. This review introduces the recent progress on the structural features, function, and modulation of BK(Ca) channels in cardiovascular system briefly.
