The Small-Conductance Ca2+-Activated Potassium Channel, Subtype SK3, in the Human Myometrium Is Downregulated in Early Stages of Pregnancy
Figure 1
The mRNA level of SK2 in nonpregnant (NP) and pregnant women at term not labouring (TLN) expressed relative to β-actin (a). Data is presented as mean ± S.E.M. ( and for NP and TLN, resp.). No significant downregulation was observed in the pregnant samples. ( and for NP and T, resp.). Protein expression of SK2 in nonpregnant (NP) and pregnant to term (TNL) (b). Blots show the expected molecular weight of ~57 kDa and ~43 kDa for SK2 and β-actin, respectively ( for both groups). (c) Accumulated measurements of protein expression from both groups of patients. All data are ratio to β-actin in the same sample. Data is presented as mean ± SEM ( and for NP and TNL, resp.).
