Autoregulation of Cardiac l-Type Calcium Channels [PDF]
l-Type calcium channels (LTCCs) are major contributors to electrical and contractile function of the heart. They regulate action potential duration, enable calcium entry into cardiac myocytes for contraction, and regulate growth-related signaling in the heart.

Background/Aims: Arachidonic acid (AA) and its metabolites are important endogenous lipid messengers. In this study, we test the effect of Leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a 5-lipoxygenase metabolite of AA, on L-type calcium channels in A7r5 rat aortic vascular ...

Ryanodine Receptors Selectively Interact with L Type Calcium Channels in Mouse Taste Cells. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION:WE REPORTED THAT RYANODINE RECEPTORS ARE EXPRESSED IN TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF MAMMALIAN PERIPHERAL TASTE RECEPTOR CELLS: Type II and Type III cells. Type II cells lack voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) and chemical synapses.

T-type calcium channel: a privileged gate for calcium entry and control of adrenal steroidogenesis
Intracellular calcium plays a crucial role in modulating a variety of functions such as muscle contraction, hormone secretion, gene expression or cell growth. Calcium signaling has been however shown to be more complex than initially thought.

Voltage-gated calcium channels are essential for coupling membrane depolarization to the influx of calcium in all excitable cells. The calcium that flows into excitable cells through voltage-gated calcium channels serves a dual function, generating both electrical and chemical signals. The intracellular events controlled by calcium are diverse and many.
