    Cell Mol Life Sci 66:314-23. 2009
    ..Thus, opening of Ca(2+)-sensitive K(+) channels causes loss of intracellular K(+) that results in reduced intrinsic inhibitory effect of these ions on scramblase activity...

    J L N Wolfs
    Department of Biochemistry, Cardiovascular Research Institute Maastricht, Maastricht University, P.O. Box 616, 6200 MD, Maastricht, The Netherlands
    Cell Mol Life Sci 62:1514-25. 2005

    Biochem J 362:741-7. 2002
