The MaxiK channel β1-subunit is a key regulatory molecule that enhances the channel's calcium and voltage sensitivity, serving as a crucial negative feedback mechanism to regulate smooth muscle tone.
The beta1-subunit of the MaxiK channel is a critical molecular component that tunes smooth muscle contractility by enhancing calcium and voltage sensitivity, serving as a key regulator of vascular and visceral smooth muscle tone.

May inform β1-subunit-targeted vascular therapies; leaves open clinical translation pending human validation.
Tanaka et al. (2004) conducted a review in Smooth muscle physiology. MaxiK channel β1-subunit was evaluated. The MaxiK channel β1-subunit is a key regulatory molecule that enhances the channel's calcium and voltage sensitivity, serving as a crucial negative feedback mechanism to regulate smooth muscle tone.
