Identification and characterization of Ca2+-activated K+ channels in granulosa cells of the human ovary
Abstract Background Granulosa cells (GCs) represent a major endocrine compartment of the ovary producing sex steroid hormones.Recently, we identified in human GCs a Ca2+-activated K+ channel (KCa) of big conductance (BKCa), which is involved in steroidogenesis.This channel is activated by intraovarian signalling molecules Scarves Black Desert Steer
