Rabbit cDNA of the α1 subunit of the skeletal muscle dihydropyridine (DHP) receptor was
functionally expressed in a muscular dysgenesis mouse (mdg) cell line, GLT. L-type calcium …

Functional impacts of the skeletal muscle-specific Ca2+ channel subunit γ1 have previously
been studied using coexpression with the cardiac α1C polypeptide in nonmuscle cells and …

THE dihydropyridine (DHP) receptor purified from skeletal muscle comprises five protein
subunits (α 1, α 2, β, γ and δ) and produces Ca2+ currents that are blocked by DHPs1 …

Undegraded dihydropyridine (DHP)-receptor (putatively a voltage-gated Ca2+ channel) has
been purified as a 340-kDa protein complex to approximately 80% homogeneity (2.4 nmol of …

THE skeletal muscle dihydropyridine (DHP) receptor serves dual functions, as a voltage
sensor for excitation–contraction coupling and as an L-type calcium channel1–3 …

In skeletal muscle, dihydropyridine (DHP) receptors control both Ca2+ entry (L‐type current)
and internal Ca2+ release in a voltage‐dependent manner. Here we investigated the …

The dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) of skeletal muscle functions as a Ca 2+ channel and is
required for excitation-contraction (EC) coupling. Here we show that the DHPR β subunit is …

We have studied the subcellular distribution of the alpha 1 and alpha 2 subunits of the
skeletal muscle dihydropyridine (DHP) receptor with immunofluorescence labeling of normal …

The Ca2+ currents, charge movements, and intracellular Ca2+ transients of mouse
dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) beta 1-null myotubes expressing a mouse DHPR beta 1 …

1 The location of the binding domain for agonist dihydropyridines (DHP) has been studied
by comparing the action of (+)‐202 791 and (−)‐Bay K 8644 on Ba2+ currents (IBa) in whole …
