Abstract
Large conductance calcium- and voltage-activated K+ channels (Slo1), also referred to as “BK” or “maxi K” channels because of their high single channel conductance (250–300 pS in symmetrical 150 mM KCl), are widely distributed in many different tissues ([Kaczorowski et al., 1996][1]). AKeywords
