Cholesterol influences voltage-gated calcium channels and BK-type potassium channels in auditory hair cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Human sperm ion channel (dys)function:implications for fertilization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
BACKGROUND: Intensive research on sperm ion channels has identified members of several ion channel families in both mouse and human sperm. Gene knock-out studies have unequivocally demonstrated the importance of the calcium and potassium conductances in ...

A comprehensive search for calcium binding sites critical for TMEM16A calcium-activated chloride channel activity

open access: yeseLife, 2014
TMEM16A forms calcium-activated chloride channels (CaCCs) that regulate physiological processes such as the secretions of airway epithelia and exocrine glands, the contraction of smooth muscles, and the excitability of neurons.

Structural and Biophysical Analysis of the CLCA1 VWA Domain Suggests Mode of TMEM16A Engagement

open access: yesCell Reports, 2020
Summary: The secreted protein calcium-activated chloride channel regulator 1 (CLCA1) utilizes a von Willebrand factor type A (VWA) domain to bind to and potentiate the calcium-activated chloride channel TMEM16A.

A functional role for small-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels in sensory pathways including nociceptive processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We investigated the role of small-conductance calcium-activated potassium (SK) and intermediate-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels in modulating sensory transmission from peripheral afferents into the rat spinal cord.

Calcium channel blockers

open access: yesMedicine, 2003
Overdose of calcium channel blockers is potentially lethal. Verapamil and diltiazem are much more dangerous than dihydropyridines. Hypotension with (verapamil and diltiazem) or without (dihydropyridines) heart block and bradycardia are the most important features.

MODULATION OF THE CGMP-GATED CHANNEL BY CALCIUM [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Calcium acting through calmodulin has been shown to regulate the affinity of cyclic nucleotide-gated channels expressed in cell lines.

Identification of a Novel EF-Loop in the N-terminus of TRPM2 Channel Involved in Calcium Sensitivity

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2018
As an oxidative stress sensor, transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) channel is involved in many physiological and pathological processes including warmth sensing, ischemia injury, inflammatory diseases and diabetes.

The roles of the subunits in the function of the calcium channel [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
Dihydropyridine-sensitive voltage-dependent L-type calcium channels are critical to excitation-secretion and excitation-contraction coupling. The channel molecule is a complex of the main, pore-forming subunit alpha 1 and four additional subunits: alpha ...
