The large unitary conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel is a widely distributed channel in cellular membranes of diverse tissues. This type of channel may serve as a link between membrane excitability and cell metabolism. In this review we discuss some aspects of the gating mechanism, calcium activation and function and modulation of BK channels.
