متن کاملVoltage-dependent calcium channels.
Voltage-activated calcium channels can be divided into two subgroups based on their activation threshold, low-voltage-activated (LVA) and high-voltage-activated (HVA). Auxiliary subunits of the HVA calcium channels contribute significantly to biophysical properties of the channels. We have cloned and characterized members of two families of auxiliary subunits: alpha2delta and gamma. Two new alp...
متن کاملInvolvement of voltage-dependent calcium channels in synaptic plasticity of the rat visual cortex
In this study, involvement ofvoltage-dependent calcium channels in LTP of responses of rat visual cortex slices was analyzed. Field potentials including EPSP1 and EPSP2 from layers II/III were recorded through stimulation of layer IV. Whereas nifedipine, a L-type calcium channel blocker (L-VDCC), did not considerably affect the LTP of responses, but Ni2+, a relatively selective blocker of T-typ...

متن کاملCharacterization of voltage-sensitive calcium channels in growth plate chondrocytes.
Growth plate chondrocytes (GPCs), cells integrally involved with the process of endochondral bone formation, facilitate Ca2+ infux to provide a source of ion for processes such as Ca2+ signaling and matrix vesicle loading. We hypothesize that this Ca2+ entry into GPCs is achieved through the action of voltage-sensitive Ca2+ channels. This hypothesis was tested by measuring intracellular [Ca2+] ...
