the present study shows that KCa2.3 channels are located in the apical plasma membrane of endothelial cells, and occasionally at inter-endothelial junctions of the corpus cavernosum. We found that down-regulation of these channels increases norepinephrine contraction in corpus cavernosum strips, and it seems associated with erectile dysfunction.

Probing the responsible cellular mechanisms pinpoints a disturbance in the expression and function of small-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (SK) channels and reveals an important role for both SK2 and SK3 channels in normal regulation of serotinin (5-HT) neuronal excitability.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
