New disguises for an old channel: MaxiK channel beta-subunits.

Patricio Orio1, Patricio Rojas, Gonzalo Ferreira, Ramón Latorre.   

Abstract

Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels of large conductance (MaxiK or BK channels) control a large variety of physiological processes, including smooth muscle tone, neurosecretion, and hearing. Despite being coded by a single gene (Slowpoke), the diversity of MaxiK channels is great. Regulatory b-subunits, splicing, and metabolic regulation create this diversity fundamental to the adequate function of many tissues.
