Diversity of Potassium Channels in Human Umbilical Artery Smooth Muscle Cells: A Review of Their Roles in Human Umbilical Artery Contraction
(Sage Publications, 2014-04)
Through their control of cell membrane potential, potassium (K(+)) channels are among the best known regulators of vascular tone. This article discusses the expression and function of K(+) channels in human umbilical artery ...
Voltage-controlled gating in a large conductance Ca2+-sensitive K+ channel (hslo)
(National Academy of Sciences, 1997)
Large conductance calcium- and voltage-sensitive K+ (MaxiK) channels share properties of voltage-and ligand-gated ion channels. In voltage-gated channels, membrane depolarization promotes the displacement of charged residues ...
Pore accessibility during C-type inactivation in Shaker K+ channels
(1998)
Shaker K+ channels inactivate through two distinct molecular mechanisms: N-type, which involves the N-terminal domain and C-type that appears to involve structural modifications at the external mouth of the channel. We ...
Identification of a sphingosine-sensitive Ca2+ channel in the plasma membrane of Leishmania mexicana
(Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2013)
INGAP-PP up-regulates the expression of genes and proteins related to K-ATP(+) channels and ameliorates Ca2+ handling in cultured adult rat islets
(Elsevier B.V., 2008-06-05)
Islet Neogenesis Associated Protein (INGAP) increases pancreatic beta-cell mass and potentiates glucose-induced insulin secretion. Here, we investigated the effects of the pentadecapeptide INGAP-PP in adult cultured rat ...

Functional transplantation of chloride channels from the human syncytiotrophoblast microvillous membrane to Xenopus oocytes
(2002)
The materno-fetal transfer of metabolites and nutrients requires the operation of specific transport mechanisms through syncytiotrophoblast membranes. Electrophysiological studies on these cells are scarce and, because of ...
