Voltage-gated calcium channels couple depolarization of the cell-surface membrane to entry
of calcium, which triggers secretion, contraction, neurotransmission, gene expression, and …

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 …

The neuronal-type (N-type) voltage-gated calcium (Cav) channels, which are designated
Cav2. 2, have an important role in the release of neurotransmitters,–. Ziconotide is a Cav2. 2 …

Chemical synapses are heterogeneous junctions formed between neurons that are
specialized for the conversion of electrical impulses into the exocytotic release of …

Voltage-gated calcium channels are the primary mediators of depolarization-induced
calcium entry into neurons. There is great diversity of calcium channel subtypes due to …

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 channels are important regulators of brain, heart and muscle
functions, and their dysfunction can give rise to pathophysiological conditions ranging from …

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

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 detection and processing of painful stimuli in afferent sensory neurons is critically
dependent on a wide range of different types of voltage-and ligand-gated ion channels …
