Cell Reports, 2012 Although calcium influx triggers endocytosis at many synapses and non-neuronal secretory cells, the identity of the calcium channel is unclear. The plasma membrane voltage-dependent calcium channel (VDCC) is a candidate, and it was recently proposed that

A functional role for small-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels in sensory pathways including nociceptive processes [PDF]
, 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 channels for endocytosis [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 2014 Exocytosis and endocytosis need to be tightly balanced to keep cell surface area constant. This is of particular relevance for presynaptic terminals, where endocytosis needs to compensate for the ongoing exocytosis of synaptic vesicle to ultimately guarantee reliable synaptic transmission.

A first-passage approach to diffusion-influenced reversible binding: insights into nanoscale signaling at the presynapse [PDF]
Sci. Rep. 11, 5377 (2021), 2020 Synaptic transmission between neurons is governed by a cascade of stochastic reaction-diffusion events that lead to calcium-induced vesicle release of neurotransmitter. Since experimental measurements of such systems are challenging due their nanometer and sub-millisecond scale, numerical simulations remain the principal tool for studying calcium ...

Inhibition of Escherichia coli chemotaxis by omega-conotoxin, a calcium ion channel blocker [PDF]
, 1993 Escherichia coli chemotaxis was inhibited by omega-conotoxin, a calcium ion channel blocker. With Tris-EDTA-permeabilized cells, nanomolar levels of omega-conotoxin inhibited chemotaxis without loss of motility.

Vacuolar calcium channels [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2007 The central vacuole is the largest Ca2+ store in a mature plant cell. Ca2+ release from this store contributes to Ca2+-mediated intracellular signalling in a variety of physiological responses. However, the routes for vacuolar Ca2+ release are not well characterized.

Tonic activation of extrasynaptic NMDA receptors decreases intrinsic excitability and promotes bistability in a model of neuronal activity [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci. 2019 Dec 27;21(1). pii: E206, 2018 NMDA receptors (NMDA-R) typically contribute to excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. While calcium influx through NMDA-R plays a critical role in synaptic plasticity, experimental evidence indicates that NMDAR-mediated calcium influx also modifies neuronal excitability through the activation of calcium-activated potassium ...

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