Kv2.1 channels play opposing roles in regulating membrane potential, Ca(2+) channel function, and myogenic tone in arterial smooth muscle
The accepted role of the protein Kv2.1 in arterial smooth muscle cells is to form K(+) channels in the sarcolemma. Opening of Kv2.1 channels causes membrane hyperpolarization, which decreases the activity of L-type Ca(V)1.2 channels, lowering intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) and causing smooth mus...
