ABSTRACT: Voltage-activated Ca2+ channels play a major role in many fundamental physiological processes including neurotransmission, muscle contraction, intracellular signaling, hormone secretion, and development. Therefore, an understanding of the structure and regulation of Ca2+ channels is critical for the comprehension of these physiological phenomena. Five types of high voltage-activated Ca2+ channels (named L-, N-, P-, Q-, and R-type) and one type of low voltage-activated Ca2+ channel (known as T-type) have been identified based on the pharmacological and biophysical characteristics of native currents.
