Abstract
This invention relates to a heteromultimer and its use in screening pharmaceutically active compounds for modulators of maxi-K channel activity. Such modulators are useful in treating asthma, pregnant human myometrium, hypertension and angina, cerebral ischemia and in conditions where stimulation of neurotransmitter release is desired such as Alzheimer's disease and stimulation of damaged nerves.
