Gene Information from Publications

Publication Link Summary of findings
18227273 The influence of the intrinsic electrostatic potential on the channel conductance of KCNMA1 was studied experimentally and theoretically by amino acid substitution.
17901123 data suggest sensory nerves and BKCa channels play major roles in the EDHF component of reactive hyperaemia and appear to work partly independent of each other
17150299 Alternative splicing of this protein may represent a mechanism with which relaxation of corporal tissue may be triggered as a result of a diabetes-related decline in erectile capacity.
17989352 Slo1-actin interactions are necessary for normal trafficking of calcium channels to the plasma membrane.
18162557 analysis of how the RCK2 domain of the human BKCa channel is a calcium sensor
17521822 reports that coexpression of beta2 subunit (KCNMB2) with hSlo can also modulate hSlo surface expression levels in HEK293T cells
17586600 Interactions with filamin A stimulate surface expression of KCNMA1 in the absence of direct actin binding.
17468961 both the inner and outer domains of the KCNMA1 channel where these two channel functions are localized respond to deformation and that a fixed amount of distortion results in reciprocal changes in protein function.
17483867 The activity of BK(Ca) channels present in human cardiac fibroblasts may contribute to the functional activities of heart cells through transfer of electrical signals between these two cell types.
17591990 the beta(2) subunit of BK(Ca) channels facilitates channel activation by changing the voltage sensor equilibrium and that the beta(2)-induced inactivation process does not follow a typical N-type mechanism
