"[XREF_BIBR] However, nonconserved substitutions of BK beta1 subunit amino acids in the vicinity of the cholane C24 carboxyl did not necessarily change LCA induced BK channel activation, [XREF_BIBR - XREF_BIBR] suggesting that the chemical requirements in the steroid lateral chain for cholanes to activate BK channels are rather lax."

"This extremely high positive correlation, together with previous data establishing that LCA induced dilation of MCA is due to LCA activation of smooth muscle BK channels [XREF_BIBR], strongly suggest that the larger LCA induced BK channel activation in myocytes of BA or CA vs. that of ACA, MCA, PCA or MA, is an important contributor to the larger LCA induced dilation of the former group of arteries vs. the latter."
