Calcium Channels in the Heart: Disease States and Drugs
Cells, 2022 Calcium ions are the major signaling ions in the cells. They regulate muscle contraction, neurotransmitter secretion, cell growth and migration, and the activity of several proteins including enzymes and ion channels and transporters. They participate in

Calcium Permeable Channels in Cancer Hallmarks
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020 Cancer, the second cause of death worldwide, is characterized by several common criteria, known as the “cancer hallmarks” such as unrestrained cell proliferation, cell death resistance, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis.

Physiology, 2017 In this review article, we discuss the different gene products and translational variants of ORAI proteins and their contribution to the makeup of different native calcium-conducting channels with distinct compositions and modes of activation. We also review the different modes of regulation of these distinct calcium channels and their impact on ...

Host Calcium Channels and Pumps in Viral Infections
Cells, 2019 Ca2+ is essential for virus entry, viral gene replication, virion maturation, and release. The alteration of host cells Ca2+ homeostasis is one of the strategies that viruses use to modulate host cells signal transduction mechanisms in their favor.

Calcium Channels and Calcium-Binding Proteins. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2023 Signals of nerve impulses are transmitted to excitatory cells to induce the action of organs via the activation of Ca2+ entry through voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCC), which are classified based on their activation threshold into high- and low-voltage activated channels, expressed specifically for each organ [...]

The regulation role of calcium channels in mammalian sperm function: a narrative review with a focus on humans and mice [PDF]
PeerJMammalian sperm are characterized as specialized cells, as their transcriptional and translational processes are largely inactive. Emerging researches indicate that Ca2+ serves as a crucial second messenger in the modulation of various sperm ...
