"Mechanistically, PKG has been linked to the activation of the mitochondrial K ATP channel [ xref ] and a recent paper further suggests that PKG activates the cardiomyocyte-specific BK channel at the mitochondria, increasing K + influx into the matrix, opposing mitochondrial Ca 2+ overloading and ROS production [ xref ]."

"Notably, direct application of H 2 O 2 (30 muM) increased Ca 2+ spark frequency in VSMCs from wild-type mice, but did not increase BK channel currents in these same cells treated with ryanodine to block Ca 2+ sparks, further supporting the conclusion that oxidant activated PKG increases BK channel mediated vasodilation of arteries through an increase in Ca 2+ spark frequency rather than a direct effect on the BK channel."
