Role of inward K+ channel located at carrot plasma membrane in signal cross-talking of cAMP with Ca2+ cascade.

abstract：:The immunosuppressive agent FK-506 has received much attention due to its efficacy and potency in the areas of transplant rejection and autoimmune disease. Calcineurin, a Ca(2+)-calmodulin activated phosphatase, was recently implicated in the immunosuppressive mechanism of FK-506. In our ongoing search for superior im...
