Synopsis

This volume describes a class of ion channels that perform an important role in many different cell types. These channels, first discovered in the membrane of red blood cells, are activated by intracellular calcium and result in the efflux of potassium. The book first provides a brief description of ion channels and the techniques used to study them. It then describes the properties of the different sub-classes of Ca++ -dependent K+ channels, the various functions of the channels, and the numerous organisms and tissues in which they are present.
