Descriptor English: Small-Conductance Calcium-Activated Potassium Channels
Descriptor Spanish: Canales de Potasio de Pequeña Conductancia Activados por el Calcio
Descriptor canales del potasio de pequeña conductancia activados por el calcio
Scope note: Clase mayor de canales de potasio activados por calcio que se encuentran principalmente en las CÉLULAS excitables. Desempeñan funciones importantes en la tranmsisión de los POTENCIALES DE ACCIÓN y generan una hiperpolarización de gran duración conocida como post-hiperpolarización lenta.
