## Abstract Prostate smooth muscle cells predominantly express Ξ±1βadrenoceptors (Ξ±1βAR). Ξ±1βAR antagonists induce prostate smooth muscle relaxation and therefore they are useful therapeutic compounds for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms. However, the Ca^2+^ entry pathways asso
Large-conductance Ca2+-activated K + channels were studied in membranes of cultured rabbit airway smooth muscle cells, using the patch-clamp technique. In cell-attached recordings, channel openings were rare and occurred only at very positive potentials. Bradykinin (10 gM), an agonist which releases
