Voltage-gated calcium channels are molecules that play a key role in cell-to-cell communication and muscle contraction. They are divided into low voltage-activated (LVA or T-type) and high voltage-activated (HVA) channels, which may further be dissected into L, N, P/Q and R channels based on their sensitivity to drugs and toxins. Calcium channels constitute a heteromeric complex composed of a large pore-forming {alpha}1 subunit and four . . . [Full Text of this Article]
