Introduction of KCNMA1

Calcium-activated potassium channel subunit alpha-1 (KCNMA1), also recognized as KCa1.1 or the BK channel, is a voltage-gated potassium channel distinguished by its substantial conductance of potassium ions (K+) across cellular membranes. This gene plays a pivotal role in regulating critical physiological processes, including neuronal excitability. Furthermore, KCNMA1 is intrinsically involved in various cancer-related mechanisms, impacting cell proliferation, apoptosis, response to hypoxia, and sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents. Scientific evidence increasingly supports the hypothesis that potassium channels are crucially implicated in oncogenesis, with KCNMA1 notably downregulated through complex epigenetic regulation involving microRNAs (miRNAs) and DNA methylation. Recent studies highlight KCNMA1's potential as a promising therapeutic target, particularly in the early stages of colorectal cancer (CRC).
