En omfattande klass av spänningsberoende, kalciumaktiverade kaliumkanaler. MaxiK-kanaler aktiveras antingen genom membrandepolarisering eller ökning av intracellulärt Ca(2+). De är av avgörande betydelse för reglering av kalcium och elektrisk signalering i en rad olika vävnader.
A major class of calcium activated potassium channels whose members are voltage-dependent. MaxiK channels are activated by either membrane depolarization or an increase in intracellular Ca(2+). They are key regulators of calcium and electrical signaling in a variety of tissues.
