Key result
Three types of voltage-gated K+ currents (IK1, IK2, and IK,A) were identified in freshly isolated myometrial cells from pregnant women at term, suggesting a role in controlling membrane potentials.
Identifies three distinct voltage-gated K+ currents in pregnant human myometrium, suggesting a role in controlling membrane potential and smooth muscle quiescence.

Three K+ current types identified in term myometrium; leaves open roles in excitability and tocolytic targets.
Knock et al. (1999) studied Pregnant women at term (myometrium). Voltage-gated K+ currents was evaluated on Characterization of voltage-gated K+ currents. Three types of voltage-gated K+ currents (IK1, IK2, and IK,A) were identified in freshly isolated myometrial cells from pregnant women at term, suggesting a role in controlling membrane potentials.
