1. Resource Description

   "Small-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels (SK channels) are gated solely by intracellular Ca2+ ions and are fundamental regulators of neuronal excitability. Our laboratory cloned the SK channel family and currently focuses on two main areas. First, we are investigating the physiological roles of SK channels in hippocampus. Second, the laboratory is testing the hypothesis that a given subtype of SK channel can serve multiple roles in the same neuron by differential subcellular localization and interactions with distinct sets of microdomain partner proteins, forming an array of Ca2+ signaling complexes."
