Cav1.4 1 Subunits Can Form Slowly Inactivating Dihydropyridine-Sensitive L-Type Ca Channels Lacking Ca -Dependent Inactivation
The neuronal L-type calcium channels (LTCCs) Cav1.2 1 and Cav1.3 1 are functionally distinct. Cav1.3 1 activates at lower voltages and inactivates more slowly than Cav1.2 1, making it suitable to support sustained L-type Ca 2 inward currents (ICa,L ) and serve in pacemaker functions. We compared the biophysical and pharmacological properties of human retinal Cav1.4 1 using the whole-cell patchc...
متن کاملThe effect of lead (Pb2+) on electrophysiological properties of calcium currents in F77 neuron in Helix aspersa
Ion channels are responsible for control of cell function in excitable tissues such as heart and brain and also in organs and tissues traditionally thought to be non- excitable including liver and epithelium. In the present research, the effect of lead (Pb2+) on Ca2+ -dependent action potential and currents was studied in F77 neuronal soma membrane of Helix aspersa. For this purpose, action pot...
متن کاملBiophysical properties, pharmacology, and modulation of human, neuronal L-type (alpha(1D), Ca(V)1.3) voltage-dependent calcium currents.
Voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCCs) are multimeric complexes composed of a pore-forming alpha(1) subunit together with several accessory subunits, including alpha(2)delta, beta, and, in some cases, gamma subunits. A family of VDCCs known as the L-type channels are formed specifically from alpha(1S) (skeletal muscle), alpha(1C) (in heart and brain), alpha(1D) (mainly in brain, heart, and ...
متن کاملFunctional expression and characterization of a voltage-gated CaV1.3 (alpha1D) calcium channel subunit from an insulin-secreting cell line.
L-type calcium channels mediate depolarization-induced calcium influx in insulin-secreting cells and are thought to be modulated by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). The major fraction of L-type alpha1-subunits in pancreatic beta-cells is of the neuroendocrine subtype (CaV1.3 or alpha1D). Here we studied the biophysical properties and receptor regulation of a CaV1.3 subunit previously cloned...
متن کاملRetinoschisin Facilitates the Function of L-Type Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels
Modulation of ion channels by extracellular proteins plays critical roles in shaping synaptic plasticity. Retinoschisin (RS1) is an extracellular adhesive protein secreted from photoreceptors and bipolar cells, and it plays an important role during retinal development, as well as in maintaining the stability of retinal layers. RS1 is known to form homologous octamers and interact with molecules...
