Review the Regulation of Plasma Membrane Calcium Channel in Cancer and Patch Clamp Technique [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 As one of the most versatile and universal second messengers, calcium plays an essential role in cell life. Here we briefly reviewed the research progress of how different calcium channels are located at the cell plasma membrane, including voltage-gated ...

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.

Calcium Channels: Noteworthy Regulators and Therapeutic Targets in Dermatological Diseases
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021 Dysfunctional skin barrier and impaired skin homeostasis may lead to or aggravate a series of dermatologic diseases. A large variety of biological events and bioactive molecules are involved in the process of skin wound healing and functional recovery ...

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 ...

Regulation of Presynaptic Calcium Channels by Synaptic Proteins
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2003 Calcium entry into nerve termini via voltage gated calcium channels is an essential step in neurotransmission. Consequently, second messenger regulation of calcium channel activity modulates synaptic activity.

The involvement of TRP channels in bone homeostasis
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2012 Calcium and bone homeostasis are intimately related. On the one hand, bone relies on a sufficient supply of calcium to maintain its structural and mechanical properties and thus largely depends on calcium absorption in the intestine and calcium ...

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.

Lack of direct evidence for a functional role of voltage-operated calcium channels in juxtaglomerular cells [PDF]
, 1990 In this study we have examined the role of voltage-gated calcium channels in the regulation of calcium in juxtaglomerular cells. Using a combination of patch-clamp and single-cell calcium measurement we obtained evidence neither for voltage-operated ...

Presynaptic calcium channels [PDF]
Neuroscience Research, 2018 Presynaptic Ca2+ entry occurs through voltage-gated Ca2+ (CaV) channels which are activated by membrane depolarization. Depolarization accompanies neuronal firing and elevation of Ca2+ triggers neurotransmitter release from synaptic vesicles. For synchronization of efficient neurotransmitter release, synaptic vesicles are targeted by presynaptic Ca2 ...

Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2018 Tuned calcium entry through voltage-gated calcium channels is a key requirement for many cellular functions. This is ensured by channel gates which open during membrane depolarizations and seal the pore at rest. The gating process is determined by distinct sub-processes: movement of voltage-sensing domains (charged S4 segments) as well as opening and ...
