DEX activates KCNMA1. 4 / 4
| 4

reach
"Therefore, we proposed that DEX might increase BK channel currents, which contribute to the lower [K +] i and the activation of NLRP1 inflammasome in hippocampal neurons."

reach
"Chronic DEX exposure can induce neurodegeneration and accelerate NLRP1 inflammasome activation by modulating BK channel in hippocampal neurons."

reach
"Recently, the acute application of DEX has been shown to increase BK channel activity in pituitary GH3 and AtT-20 cells and reduce the firing of action potentials in GH3 cells [XREF_BIBR]."

reach
"Acute DEX exposure may activate BK channel and induce low [K +] i via non gene effects, and chronic DEX exposure may upregulate expression of BK channel protein via gene effects, which may accelerate NLRP1 inflammasome activation and induces neurodegeneration in hippocampal neurons."
