Effects of toxins on Ca2+ currents and peptide release from nerve terminals.

Voltage-activated calcium channels in nerve terminals of the neurohypophysis are instrumental for triggering the exocytotic release of the neuropeptides, oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (AVP). In depolarization-secretion coupling, Ca2+, acting as a second messenger, flows into the terminals through these channels and consequently evokes release.'.2 In neurons, the major voltage-gated Ca2+ channel...
