Neuronal Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels: Structure, Function, and Dysfunction
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 multiple genes that encode calcium channel α1 subunits, coassembly with a variety of ancillary calcium channel subunits, and alternative splicing. This allows these channels to fulfill highly specialized roles in specific neur...
متن کاملInactivation of voltage-gated cardiac K+ channels.
Inactivation is the process by which an open channel enters a stable nonconducting conformation after a depolarizing change in membrane potential. Inactivation is a widespread property of many different types of voltage-gated ion channels. Recent advances in the molecular biology of K+ channels have elucidated two mechanistically distinct types of inactivation, N-type and C-type. N-type inactiv...
متن کاملenhancement of purkinje neuronal excitability by the inhibition of fast voltage gated k+ channel function in ataxic rats
objective: the purpose of this study was to investigate the role of fast inactivating (ia) voltage dependent potassium channels in shaping the discharge activity of cerebellar purkinje cells (pcs) in ataxic rats. materials and methods: male sprauge-dawley rats (40-60 g) were used in this study. ataxia was induced via single i.p. injection of 3-acethylpyridine (65 mg/kg). four days following ind...
متن کاملVoltage-gated calcium channels direct neuronal migration in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Calcium signaling is known to be important for regulating the guidance of migrating neurons, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying this process are not well understood. We have found that two different voltage-gated calcium channels are important for the accurate guidance of postembryonic neuronal migrations in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. In mutants carrying loss-of-function alleles ...
متن کاملVOLTAGE-GATED ION CHANNELS Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels
Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) protect against seizures through interactions with a variety of cellular targets. By affecting the functional activity of these targets, AEDs suppress abnormal hypersynchronous activity in brain circuits, leading to protection against seizures. The actions on these targets can be categorized into four broad groups: (i) modulation of voltage-gated ion channels, includi...
