CICR activates KCNMA1. 3 / 3
| 3

reach
"The coupling between Ca v channel mediated Ca 2+ influx and BK channel activation is not enhanced by CICR, as depleting intracellular stores with thapsigargin (1 microM) only slightly reduced BK currents elicited by voltage steps to -30 mV (to 92 +/- 11% of control, n = 5, P = 0.063; not shown)."

reach
"RyR mediated CICR could activate local BK channel, induce fast hyperpolarization and inhibit the action of synapses."

reach
"These findings, combined with the fact that the I to is Ca 2+ -sensitive, suggest that the I to, similar to SMOCs, is a BK channel current activated by CICR from internal stores."
