Voltage‐gated calcium channels are essential players in many physiological processes in
excitable cells. There are three main subdivisions of calcium channel, defined by the pore …

Voltage-gated calcium (Ca2+) channels are key transducers of membrane potential
changes into intracellular Ca2+ transients that initiate many physiological events. There are …

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

The heart is a rhythmic electromechanical pump, the functioning of which depends on action
potential generation and propagation, followed by relaxation and a period of refractoriness …

The L-type Cav1. 2 calcium channel is present throughout the animal kingdom and is
essential for some aspects of CNS function, cardiac and smooth muscle contractility …

Ca2+ is an essential ion in all organisms, where it plays a crucial role in processes ranging
from the formation and maintenance of the skeleton to the temporal and spatial regulation of …

Calcium regulates a wide spectrum of physiological processes such as heartbeat, muscle
contraction, neuronal communication, hormone release, cell division, and gene …

To identify and localize the protein products of genes encoding distinct L-type calcium
channels in central neurons, anti-peptide antibodies specific for the class C and class D …

BECAUSE of positive and negative selection to molecules of the major histocompatibility
complex (MHC) 1, only a small propor-tion of the massive numbers of T cells generated in …

L-type Ca2+ channels support Ca2+ entry into cells, which triggers cardiac contraction,
controls hormone secretion from endocrine cells and initiates transcriptional events that …
