Abstract

Previous published study have demonstrated that stress in the plasma membrane can contribute to the mechanical activation 
of mechanosensitive channels (e.g. BKCa), though the possibility for the involvement of ancillary proteins in the activation cannot be 
ruled out. However, the activation of BKCa channel is unclear. The reviews have provided an important mechanism.
