Disease relevance of Kcnmb1

With hypertension developed at 7 weeks and reached plateau at 12 weeks, expression levels of BK beta1 mRNA in mesenteric arteries and aortae from SHR during this period of time were significantly higher than in age-matched normotensive WKY [1].

High impact information on Kcnmb1

Expression of BK beta1 in mesenteric arteries is closely correlated with BP in SHR [1].
Increased BK beta1 expression in mesenteric arteries may represent a compensatory reaction to limit the development of hypertension [1].
