BK channel

BK channels, also known as "Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) receptors" or "BK channels" in the context of ion channels, refer to large conductance potassium (K+) channels that are activated by intracellular calcium ions (Ca2+) and membrane potential. These channels play a crucial role in various physiological processes, including regulating smooth muscle contraction, neuronal excitability, and cardiovascular function.
