"Although the molecular identities of BK splice variants of rat and human colon have yet to be established, the demonstration that cAMP activates BK channel activity, and forskolin (FSK; which activates adenylate cyclase and increases intracellular cAMP) activates K secretion, suggest that BK channels encoded by ZERO transcripts mediate K secretion in rat and human colonic epithelial cells (Figure-7) (130, 159)."
reach
"The fact that the wider cryptal distribution of BK channel expression persists in quiescent UC (where colonic K secretion is likely to be normal), suggests that fecal K losses in UC are also dependent upon overall BK channel activity, which is likely to be stimulated in active UC by cAMP and/or Ca -mediated inflammatory cytokines."

"Although we did not study the effects of specific BK channel inhibitors in this study, we have previously shown that apically applied 100 nM iberiotoxin completely inhibits cAMP induced K + secretion in rat distal colon by preventing the apical BK channel mediated increase in unidirectional K + flux from serosa to mucosa, and 100 nM penitrem A inhibits apical BK channels in human colon."
