▪ Abstract Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels mediate Ca2+ entry into cells in response to
membrane depolarization. Electrophysiological studies reveal different Ca2+ currents …

Low voltage‐activated T‐type calcium channels are encoded by a family of at least three
genes, with additional diversity created by alternative splicing. This study describes the …

Ca2+-dependent regulation of the ion current through the α1Cβ2aα2δ-1 (L-type) calcium
channel transiently expressed in HEK 293 cells was investigated using whole cell patch …

During cardiac development, there is a reciprocal relationship between cardiac
morphogenesis and force production (contractility). In the early embryonic myocardium, the …

Voltage-gated calcium channels are important mediators of several physiological processes,
including neuronal excitability and muscle contraction. At the molecular level, the channels …

Voltage-gated calcium (Ca2) channels are a major source of Ca2 influx and have a critical
role in Ca2 signaling in all cells. The nervous system expresses a number of different types …

Calcium channel β subunits have marked effects on the trafficking and on several of the
biophysical properties of all high voltage activated calcium channels. In this article I shall …

L-type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) are multisubunit membrane proteins that
regulate calcium influx into excitable cells. Within the last two years there have been four …

Calcium channels are important targets for therapeutics, but their molecular diversity
complicates characterization of these channels in native heart cells. In this study, we identify …

Low voltage-activated Ca2+ channels play important roles in pacing neuronal firing and
producing network oscillations, such as those that occur during sleep and epilepsy. Here we …
