Oxidative Stress and Maxi Calcium-Activated Potassium (BK) Channels

Oxidative Stress and Maxi Calcium-Activated Potassium (BK) Channels

All cells contain ion channels in their outer (plasma) and inner (organelle) membranes. Ion channels, similar to other proteins, are targets of oxidative impact, which modulates ion fluxes across membranes. Subsequently, these ion currents affect electrical excitability, such as action potential dis...
