Acute hypoxia selectively inhibits KCNA5 channels in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells

Acute hypoxia causes pulmonary vasoconstriction in part by inhibiting voltage-gated K+ (Kv) channel activity in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC). The hypoxia-mediated decrease in Kv currents [IK(V)] is selective to PASMC; hypoxia has little effect on IK(V) in mesenteric artery smooth mus...
