The large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK) channels play an important role in the regulation of cellular excitability in response to changes in intracellular metabolic state and Ca(2+) homeostasis. In vascular smooth muscle, BK channels are key determinants of vasoreactivity and vital-organ perfusion. Vascular BK channel functions are impaire...
