Figure Lengend Snippet: Localization and expression of KCa channels in HTR-8/SVneo cells. BKCa α and β1 subunits, IKCa channels, SKCa channels, and the control in HTR-8/SVneo cells were observed under the fluorescence microscope. Cells were stained with DAPI to visualize nucleus (blue) and immunolabeled with Anti-KCa antibodies (green), respectively. Arrow indicates the positive staining.
