Use ‘em and Lose ‘em—Activity-Induced Removal of Calcium Channels from the Plasma Membrane
نویسندگان
چکیده
Calcium influx via L-type (Cav1.2 and Cav1.3) calcium channels is tightly regulated to ensure optimal intracellular calcium levels. Although much is known about acute modulation of these channels by second messengers, the mechanisms that control their trafficking to and from the plasma membrane remain poorly understood. In this issue of Neuron, Green and colleagues demonstrate that the opening of L-type calcium channels results in negative feedback regulation due to their calcium-dependent internalization.

L - type and non - L - type voltage - dependent calcium channels contribute to cerebral artery vasospasm following loss of NO in the rat
We recently found block of NO synthase in rat middle cerebral artery caused spasm, associated with depolarizing oscillations in membrane potential (Em) similar in form but faster in frequency (circa 1Hz) to vasomotion. T-type voltage-gated Ca channels contribute to cerebral myogenic tone and vasomotion, so we investigated the significance of T-type and other ion channels for membrane potential ...

متن کاملDetermining whether positively-charged channel-forming molecules of polyene antibiotic with aromatic groups affect muscle activity?
This article evaluates the effect of membrane active channel-forming polyene antibiotic (PA) of levorin and its alkyl derivatives on the muscle performance. The membrane channels of muscle cells are capable to transport ions of potassium, sodium, and calcium. In the period of an intensive muscle exercise, the necessity for organic substrates increases and these channels start to work with the g...

Major proportion of intracellular calcium (Ca 2+ ) is achieved through opening of calcium channels present in the plasma membrane which play an important role in regulating neuromuscular coordination and release of neurotransmitters from nerve terminals. Blockade of these calcium channels adversely affect contractile process and release of neurotransmitters in majority of the neuromuscular prep...
