High impact information on KCNMA1

In the chicken's basilar papilla, we found numerous isoforms of KCa channels generated by alternative mRNA splicing at seven sites in a single gene, cSlo [1].
In situ polymerase chain reactions demonstrated cSlo expression in hair cells and revealed differential distributions of KCa channel isoforms along the basilar papilla [1].
The alpha subunit codes for a "minimal" BK channel in that none of its potential alternative splicing sites contains an "extra" exon [2].
Maxi-K channels in plasma cells [3].
