MODULATION OF THE CGMP-GATED CHANNEL BY CALCIUM [PDF]
Calcium acting through calmodulin has been shown to regulate the affinity of cyclic nucleotide-gated channels expressed in cell lines.

Voltage-gated ion channels are essential for signal generation and propagation in neurons and other excitable cells. The high-voltage activated calcium-channel Cav2.3 is expressed throughout the central and peripheral nervous system, and within CA1 ...

Particle-based Multiscale Modeling of Calcium Puff Dynamics [PDF]
Intracellular calcium is regulated in part by the release of Ca$^{2+}$ ions from the endoplasmic reticulum via inositol-4,5-triphosphate receptor (IP$_3$R) channels (among other possibilities such as RyR and L-type calcium channels). The resulting dynamics are highly diverse, lead to local calcium "puffs" as well as global waves propagating through ...

Lack of direct evidence for a functional role of voltage-operated calcium channels in juxtaglomerular cells [PDF]
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 ...

Activation of Calcium Channels
Activation of Ca channels has been described as a Hodgkin-Huxley process in which the time constants have ratios of two or greater (1, 2, 3) or as a three-state linear sequential process with two very different time constants (4). We examined activation by measuring the turn-on and turn-off of macroscopic Ca currents and the discharge of single Ca ...

Mitogens and Calcium Channels [PDF]
Mitogens and, in particular, growth factors can induce changes in free intracellular Ca2+ concentration by opening voltage-independent cationic channels, with different degrees of Ca2+ selectivity. Recent work has provided preliminary insights into the nature of these channels and their role in the control of cell cycle progression.

Low voltage activation of KCa1.1 current by Cav3-KCa1.1 complexes. [PDF]
Calcium-activated potassium channels of the KCa1.1 class are known to regulate repolarization of action potential discharge through a molecular association with high voltage-activated calcium channels.

Store-operated calcium channels in skin
The skin is a complex organ that acts as a protective layer against the external environment. It protects the internal tissues from harmful agents, dehydration, ultraviolet radiation and physical injury as well as conferring thermoregulatory control ...

Interactions of short-term and chronic treadmill training with aging of the left ventricle of the heart [PDF]
With aging, there is a decline in cardiac function accompanying increasing risk of arrhythmias. These effects are likely to be mechanistically associated with age-associated changes in calcium regulation within cardiac myocytes.

Overdose of calcium channel blockers is potentially lethal. Verapamil and diltiazem are much more dangerous than dihydropyridines. Hypotension with (verapamil and diltiazem) or without (dihydropyridines) heart block and bradycardia are the most important features.
