Chromaffin cells (CCs) of the adrenal gland and the sympathetic nervous system produce
the catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine; EPI and NE) needed to coordinate …

Voltage gated Ca2+ channels are effective voltage sensors of plasma membrane which
convert cell depolarizations into Ca2+ signaling. The chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla …

Adrenal chromaffin cells (CCs) are the main source of circulating catecholamines (CAs) that
regulate the body response to stress. Release of CAs is controlled neurogenically by the …

Key points• Cav1. 2 and Cav1. 3 L‐type calcium channels are highly expressed in rat and
mouse chromaffin cells. Beside shaping and pacemaking action potential trains, they …

Ca 2+ channels are voltage-gated ion channels present in the membrane of most excitable
cells. The nomenclature for Ca 2+ channels was proposed by [131] and approved by the NC …

Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs) are voltage sensors that convert membrane
depolarizations into Ca2+ signals. In the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla, the Ca2+ …

In the present study, we have electrophysiologically characterized native nicotinic
acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in human chromaffin cells of the adrenal gland as well as …

Schizophrenia patients have an increased risk of cardiac dysfunction. A possible factor
underlying this comorbidity are the common variants in the large set of genes that have …

An increase in circulating catecholamines constitutes one of the mechanisms whereby
human body responds to stress. In response to chronic stressful situations, the adrenal …

Background Recent genome-wide association studies have identified a large number of
genetic risk factors for schizophrenia (SCZ) featuring ion channels and calcium transporters …
