Calcium-activated potassium channels
Open accessAbstract
Calcium-activated potassium channels are fundamental regulators of neuronal excitability, participating in interspike interval and spike-frequency adaptation. For large-conductance calcium-activated potassium (BK) channels, recent experiments have illuminated the fundamental biophysical mechanisms of gating, demonstrating that BK channels are voltage gated and calcium modulated. Structurally, BK channels have been shown to possess an extracellular amino-terminal domain, different from other potassium channels. Domains and residues involved in calcium-gating, and perhaps calcium binding itself, have been identified. For small- and intermediate-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels, SK and IK channels, clones have only recently become available, and they show that SK channels are a distinct subfamily of potassium channels. The biophysical properties of SK channels demonstrate that kinetic differences between apamin-sensitive and apamin-insensitive slow afterhyperpolarizations are not attributable to intrinsic gating differences between the two subtypes. Interestingly, SK and IK channels may prove effective drug targets for diseases such as myotonic muscular dystrophy and sickle cell anemia.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
