摘要:
Compounds capable of interacting with the calmodulin-PIP2 binding domain of the SK4 channel to thereby interfere with the Ca2+-dependent activation of the SK4 channel and uses thereof in downregulating an activity of an SK4 channel in a subject in need thereof, are disclosed. Also disclosed is a method of identifying a candidate compound that is capable of downregulating an activity of SK4 channel, based on its interaction with the calmodulin-PIP2 binding domain of the SK4 channel.
