Isoform-specific inhibition of L-type calcium channels by dihydropyridines is independent of isoform-specific gating properties.
Dihydropyridines (DHPs) block L-type Ca2+ channels more potently at depolarized membrane potentials, consistent with high affinity binding to the inactivated state. Nisoldipine (a DHP antagonist) blocks the smooth muscle channel more potently than the cardiac one, a phenomenon observed not only in native channels but also in expressed channels. We examined whether this tissue specificity was at...
متن کاملVerapamil block of T-type calcium channels.
Verapamil is a prototypical phenylalkylamine (PAA), and it was the first calcium channel blocker to be used clinically. It tonically blocks L-type channels in the inner pore with micromolar affinity, and its affinity increases at depolarized membrane potentials. In T-type calcium channels, verapamil blocks with micromolar affinity and has modestly increased affinity at depolarized potentials. W...
متن کاملCommon mechanisms of drug interactions with sodium and T-type calcium channels.
Voltage-gated sodium (Na(v)) and calcium (Ca(v)) channels play important roles in physiological processes, including neuronal and cardiac pacemaker activity, vascular smooth muscle contraction, and nociception. They are thought to share a common ancestry, and, in particular, T-type calcium (T-type) channels share structural similarities with Na(v) channels, both with regard to membrane topology...
متن کاملActivity-dependent regulation of T-type calcium channels by submembrane calcium ions
Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels are involved in numerous physiological functions and various mechanisms finely tune their activity, including the Ca2+ ion itself. This is well exemplified by the Ca2+-dependent inactivation of L-type Ca2+ channels, whose alteration contributes to the dramatic disease Timothy Syndrome. For T-type Ca2+ channels, a long-held view is that they are not regulated by intra...
