Proximal clustering between BK and CaV1.3 channels promotes functional coupling and BK channel activation at low voltage

CaV-channel dependent activation of BK channels is critical for feedback control of both calcium influx and cell excitability. Here we addressed the functional and spatial interaction between BK and CaV1.3 channels, unique CaV1 channels that activate at low voltages. We found that when BK and CaV1.3...
