Apelin-13 Inhibits Large-Conductance Ca(2+)-Activated K(+) Channels in Cerebral Artery Smooth Muscle Cells via a PI3-Kinase Dependent Mechanism

Apelin-13 causes vasoconstriction by acting directly on APJ receptors in vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells; however, the ionic mechanisms underlying this action at the cellular level remain unclear. Large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK(Ca)) channels in VSM cells are critical regulators of me...
