May contribute to myometrial excitability in labor; leaves open whether BK channel switching drives human parturition.
The transition of human myometrium to a highly excitable state during labour is associated with a shift from calcium-sensitive to calcium-insensitive large-conductance potassium channels.
Khan et al. (1993) studied this question.
