BK Channel blockers

BK channel blockers are substances that inhibit a specific type of ion channel known as BK channels, which allow potassium ions to flow in and out of cells. These channels play a crucial role in regulating electrical activity in various tissues, including muscles and nerves. By blocking these channels, BK channel blockers can influence muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and other physiological processes. They are researched for potential therapeutic uses, such as treating conditions related to muscle spasms, high blood pressure, and neurological disorders, by helping to stabilize cellular activity in the body.
