Journal ArticleDOI
International Union of Pharmacology. LIII. Nomenclature and Molecular Relationships of Voltage-Gated Potassium Channels
TL;DR: The first cloned potassium channel gene was the Drosophila voltage-gated shaker channel, and this was rapidly followed by the identification of other potassium channel genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
mSlo, a Complex Mouse Gene Encoding "Maxi" Calcium-Activated Potassium Channels
TL;DR: A large number of variant mSlo cDNAs were isolated, indicating that several diverse mammalian BK channel types are produced by a single gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors sequenced the ∼90 megabase (Mb) genome of the human filarial parasite Brugia malayi and predicted ∼11,500 protein coding genes in 71 Mb of robustly assembled sequence.

TL;DR: An overview of the molecular relationships among the voltage-gated potassium channels and a standard nomenclature for them is derived from the IUPHAR Compendium of Voltage-Gated Ion Channels as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-conductance potassium channels of the SLO family
TL;DR: High-conductance, 'big' potassium (BK) channels encoded by the Slo gene family are among the largest and most complex of the extended family of potassium channels, and have been exploited to serve many cellular roles, both within and outside the nervous system.
