Descriptor canales del potasio de gran conductancia activados por el calcio
Entry term(s) canal BK
canal Big K
canal MaxiK
canal de potasio activado por calcio de gran conductancia
canal maxi-K
Scope note: Clase importante de canales de potasio activados por calcio cuyos miembros dependen del voltaje. Los canales MaxiK se activan por la despolarización de la membrana o por un aumento del Ca(2+) intracelular. Son reguladores clave del calcio y de la señalización eléctrica en diversos tejidos.
