Effects of endothelin-1 on vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic differentiation.

abstract：:During recent years, small conductance Ca-activated K (SK) channels have been reported to play a role in cardiac electrophysiology. SK channels seem to be expressed in atria and ventricles, but from a functional perspective, atrial activity is predominant. A general notion seems to be that cardiac SK channels are pred...
