Pflügers 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 ...

The ER calcium channel Csg2 integrates sphingolipid metabolism with autophagy
Nature Communications, 2023 Sphingolipids are ubiquitous components of membranes and function as bioactive lipid signaling molecules. Here, through genetic screening and lipidomics analyses, we find that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium channel Csg2 integrates sphingolipid ...

Tissue-specific expression of calcium channels [PDF]
, 1993 The high-voltage-activated calcium channel is a multimeric protein complex containing 1, 2/δ, β, and γ subunits. The 1 subunit is the ion conduction channel and contains the binding sites for calcium channel blockers and toxins.

Calcium Channel Blockers [PDF]
The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, 2011 KEY POINTS AND PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS: • Calcium channel blockers, which dilate arteries by reducing calcium flux into cells, effectively lower blood pressure, especially in combination with other drugs, and some formulations of agents of this class are approved for treating angina or cardiac dysrhythmias.

Calcium channel blockers- Induced iatrogenic gingival hyperplasia: Case series
Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences, 2023 Hypertension rightfully termed as “Silent killer” is associated with increase in morbidity and mortality when left untreated. Calcium channel blockers are the most commonly prescribed first-line anti-hypertensive drugs in India.

A change in configuration of the calmodulin-KCNQ channel complex underlies Ca2+-dependent modulation of KCNQ channel activity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 All subtypes of KCNQ channel subunits (KCNQ1-5) require calmodulin as a co-factor for functional channels. It has been demonstrated that calmodulin plays a critical role in KCNQ channel trafficking as well as calcium-mediated current modulation. However,

Cholesterol influences voltage-gated calcium channels and BK-type potassium channels in auditory hair cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The influence of membrane cholesterol content on a variety of ion channel conductances in numerous cell models has been shown, but studies exploring its role in auditory hair cell physiology are scarce.

Calcium channels in lymphocytes [PDF]
Immunology, 2001 On B and T lymphocytes, ligation of the antigen receptor (AgR) induces a biphasic Ca2+ response. In the initial phase there is a large elevation in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration as a consequence of Ca2+ release from intracellular stores. This is followed by a lower, but prolonged elevation that is dependent on extracellular Ca2+.1,2 This simple ...
