Oxidative Regulation of Large Conductance Calcium-Activated Potassium Channels
Reactive oxygen/nitrogen species are readily generated in vivo, playing roles in many physiological and pathological conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, by oxidatively modifying various proteins. Previous studies indicate that large conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels (BK(Ca) or Slo) are subject to redox regulation. However, conflicting results exist whether ...
متن کاملRegulation of large conductance calcium- and voltage-activated potassium (BK) channels by S-palmitoylation.
BK (large conductance calcium- and voltage-activated potassium) channels are important determinants of physiological control in the nervous, endocrine and vascular systems with channel dysfunction associated with major disorders ranging from epilepsy to hypertension and obesity. Thus the mechanisms that control channel surface expression and/or activity are important determinants of their (path...

متن کاملFunctional coupling between large-conductance potassium channels and Cav3.2 voltage-dependent calcium channels participates in prostate cancer cell growth
It is strongly suspected that potassium (K(+)) channels are involved in various aspects of prostate cancer development, such as cell growth. However, the molecular nature of those K(+) channels implicated in prostate cancer cell proliferation and the mechanisms through which they control proliferation are still unknown. This study uses pharmacological, biophysical and molecular approaches to sh...
متن کاملFunctional coupling of beta3-adrenoceptors and large conductance calcium-activated potassium channels in human uterine myocytes.
CONTEXT Beta3-adrenoreceptor modulation in human myometrium during pregnancy is linked functionally to myometrial inhibition. Maxi-K+ channels (BK(Ca)) play a significant role in modulating cell membrane potential and excitability. OBJECTIVE This study was designed to investigate the potential involvement of BK(Ca) channel function in the response of human myometrium to beta3-adrenoceptor act...
