"This study presents : (i) to our knowledge, the first identification and characterization of an n-alkanol recognition site in a member of the voltage gated TM6 channel superfamily; (ii) structural insights on ethanol allosteric interactions with ligand gated ion channels; and (iii) a first step for designing agents that antagonize BK channel mediated alcohol actions without perturbing basal channel function."

"Ethanol Increases BK Channel Open Probability."

"Ethanol inhibition of BK transients was caused by a reduction in Ca (2+) spark frequency (-49%), a subsarcolemmal Ca (2+) signal that evokes the BK transients, and a direct inhibition of BK channel steady-state activity (-44%)."

"For example, microRNA regulation of slo encoded BK channel expression in rat magnocellular neurons has been shown to underlie a form of functional ethanol tolerance."

"Expression of WT HSLO rescued ethanol sensitivity for crawling speed but expression of HSLO (DM) did not (XREF_FIG; Kruskal-Wallis anova, genotype, H = 99.092, df = 5, P < 0.001; Dunn 's multiple comparison, slo-1 (null) vs. hslo (+) # 1 and slo-1 (null) vs. hslo (+) # 2, P < 0.05; slo-1 (null) vs. hslo (DM) # 1 and slo-1 (null) vs. hslo (DM) # 2; n = 16-122)."

"In this review, we discuss BK channels structure and function, and how they help us understand the various ways BK channel mediates alcohol 's effects on neuronal function and on behavior in the striatum."
