Voltage-gated calcium channels are required for many key functions in the body. In this
review, the different subtypes of voltage-gated calcium channels are described and their …

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 …

How is the heartbeat generated? What controls the strength of contraction of heart muscle?
What are the links between cardiac structure and function? How does our understanding of …

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 …

The voltage-gated calcium channel α2δ and β subunits are traditionally considered to be
auxiliary subunits that enhance channel trafficking, increase the expression of functional …

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 …

Voltage-gated sodium, calcium, and potassium channels generate electrical signals
required for action potential generation and conduction and are the molecular targets for a …
