Effects of redox agents on the Ca2+-activated K+ channel.

abstract：:Cardiogenesis depends on a tightly regulated balance between proliferation and differentiation of cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs) and their cardiomyocyte descendants. While exposure of early mouse embryos to Ca(2+) channel antagonists has been associated with abnormal cardiac morphogenesis, less is known about the con...
