Human calcium sensitive potassium channel beta3 subunit proteins, encoding nucleic acid and uses thereof

摘要

The present invention is directed to novel human DNA sequences encoding calcium sensitive potassium channel subunits β2, β3a, β3b, β3c, and β3d, the proteins encoded by the DNA sequences, vectors comprising the DNA sequences, host cells containing the vectors, and methods of identifying inhibitors and agonists of calcium sensitive potassium channels containing human β2, β3a, β3b, β3c, or β3d subunits and inhibitors and agonists of β3 gene transcription.
