Molecular mechanisms underlying pimaric acid-induced modulation of voltage-gated K+ channels
Voltage-gated K+ (KV) channels, which control firing and shape of action potentials in excitable cells, are supposed to be potential therapeutic targets in many types of diseases. Pimaric acid (PiMA) is a unique opener of large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel. Here, we report that PiMA modulat...
