Non-ionotropic voltage-gated calcium channel signaling [PDF]

open access: yesChannels
Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) are the major conduits for calcium ions (Ca2+) within excitable cells. Recent studies have highlighted the non-ionotropic functionality of VGCCs, revealing their capacity to activate intracellular pathways ...

Inhibition of Contractility of Isolated Caprine Detrusor by the Calcium Channel Blocker Cilnidipine and Reversal by Calcium Channel Openers [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Therapeutic Research, 2023
: Background: Cilnidipine is a fourth-generation calcium channel blocker that is clinically used to treat hypertension. It is a dihydropyridine that blocks L- and N-type calcium channels.

Heterogeneous off-target impact of ion-channel deletion on intrinsic properties of hippocampal model neurons that self-regulate calcium

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023
How do neurons that implement cell-autonomous self-regulation of calcium react to knockout of individual ion-channel conductances? To address this question, we used a heterogeneous population of 78 conductance-based models of hippocampal pyramidal ...

Focused ultrasound excites cortical neurons via mechanosensitive calcium accumulation and ion channel amplification

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Ultrasonic neuromodulation has the unique potential to provide non-invasive control of neural activity in deep brain regions with high spatial precision and without chemical or genetic modification.

CLCA2 is a positive regulator of store-operated calcium entry and TMEM16A. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
The Chloride Channel Accessory (CLCA) protein family was first characterized as regulators of calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC) currents (ICaCC), but the mechanism has not been fully established. We hypothesized that CLCAs might regulate ICaCC by

The role of calcium channel blockers in wound healing [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2018
Wound healing is a natural response to restore the injured tissue to normal. Wound healing is also complicated process involving different cellular, molecular and biochemical mechanisms and various types of cytokines and growth factors.

A governance of ion selectivity based on the occupancy of the “beacon” in one- and four-domain calcium and sodium channels

open access: yesChannels, 2023
One of nature’s exceptions was discovered when a Cav3 T-type channel was observed to switch phenotype from a calcium channel into a sodium channel by neutralizing an aspartate residue in the high field strength (HFS) +1 position within the ion ...

Renoprotective effect of calcium channel blockers [PDF]

open access: yesSrpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2009
The advancing chronic renal failure is at most the consequence of secondary haemodynamic and metabolic factors as intraglomerular hypertension and glomerular hypertrophy.

Calcium channel gating [PDF]

open access: yesPflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2018
Tuned calcium entry through voltage-gated calcium channels is a key requirement for many cellular functions. This is ensured by channel gates which open during membrane depolarizations and seal the pore at rest. The gating process is determined by distinct sub-processes: movement of voltage-sensing domains (charged S4 segments) as well as opening and ...
