Differential modulation of L-type calcium channel subunits by oleate.
Nonesterified fatty acids such as oleate and palmitate acutely potentiate insulin secretion from pancreatic islets in a glucose-dependent manner. In addition, recent studies show that fatty acids elevate intracellular free Ca(2+) and increase voltage-gated Ca(2+) current in mouse beta-cells, although the mechanisms involved are poorly understood. Here we utilized a heterologous system to expres...
متن کاملDifferential modulation of the cardiac L- and T-type calcium channel currents by isoflurane.
BACKGROUND Volatile anesthetics exert their negative chronotropic and inotropic effects, in part by depressing the L- and T-type calcium channels. This study examines and compares the dose-dependent effects of isoflurane on atrial L- and T-type calcium currents (I(Ca,L) and I(Ca,T)) and ventricular I(Ca,L). METHODS Whole cell I(Ca) was recorded from enzymatically isolated guinea pig cardiomyo...
متن کاملCardiac L-type calcium channel (Cav1.2) associates with subunits
The cardiac voltage-gated Ca channel, Cav1.2, mediates excitation-contraction coupling in the heart. The molecular composition of the channel includes the pore-forming 1 subunit and auxiliary 2/ -1 and subunits. Ca channel subunits, of which there are 8 isoforms, consist of 4 transmembrane domains with intracellular Nand C-terminal ends. The 1 subunit was initially detected in the skeletal musc...
متن کاملInactivation of L-type calcium channel modulated by HCN2 channel.
Ca(2+) entry is delicately controlled by inactivation of L-type calcium channel (LTCC) composed of the pore-forming subunit alpha1C and the auxiliary subunits beta1 and alpha2delta. Calmodulin is the key protein that interacts with the COOH-terminal motifs of alpha1C, leading to the fine control of LTCC inactivation. In this study we show evidence that a hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucle...
متن کاملIdentification and differential subcellular localization of the neuronal class C and class D L-type calcium channel alpha 1 subunits
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 alpha 1 subunits were produced. Anti-CNC1 directed against class C immunoprecipitated 75% of the L-type channels solubilized from rat cerebral cortex and hippocampus. Anti-CND1 directed against class D immunoprecipitate...
