Calcium Channels and Calcium-Binding Proteins [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 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 [...]
