Calmodulin regulates Cav3 T-type channels at their gating brake

Chemin, Jean; Taiakina, Valentina; Monteil, Arnaud; Piazza, Michael; Guan, Wendy; Stephens, Robert F.; Kitmitto, Ashraf; Pang, Zhiping P.; Dolphin, Annette C.; Perez-Reyes, Edward; Dieckmann, Thorsten; Guillemette, J. Guy; Spafford, J. David (American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2017-12-08)

Calcium (Cav1 and Cav2) and sodium channels possess homologous CaM-binding motifs, known as IQ motifs in their C termini, which associate with calmodulin (CaM), a universal calcium sensor. Cav3 T-type channels, which serve ...
Characterization of Two Novel Voltage-gated Calcium Channel Beta Subunits from Lymnaea stagnalis

Dawson, Taylor F. (University of Waterloo, 2010-03-01)

In excitable tissues, voltage-gated calcium channel activity is critical in the linkage of electrical stimuli to physiological responses, and so modulation of calcium channels therefore has significant implications. The ...
