Pancreatic β Cell CaV Channels in Health and Disease
, 2022 Multiple types of voltage-gated calcium (CaV) channels including CaV1.2, CaV1.3, CaV2.1, CaV2.2, CaV2.3, CaV3.1, and CaV3.2 operate in electrically excitable β cells under both physiological and pathophysiological conditions.

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.

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019 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 ...

Journal of Physiology, 2016 Voltage‐gated calcium channels are essential players in many physiological processes in excitable cells. There are three main subdivisions of calcium channel, defined by the pore‐forming α1 subunit, the CaV1, CaV2 and CaV3 channels.

SLO BK Potassium Channels Couple Gap Junctions to Inhibition of Calcium Signaling in Olfactory Neuron Diversification. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2016 The C. elegans AWC olfactory neuron pair communicates to specify asymmetric subtypes AWCOFF and AWCON in a stochastic manner. Intercellular communication between AWC and other neurons in a transient NSY-5 gap junction network antagonizes voltage ...

Calcium channels for endocytosis [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 2014 Exocytosis and endocytosis need to be tightly balanced to keep cell surface area constant. This is of particular relevance for presynaptic terminals, where endocytosis needs to compensate for the ongoing exocytosis of synaptic vesicle to ultimately guarantee reliable synaptic transmission.

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 ...

Activation of Calcium Channels
Biophysical Journal, 1984 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 ...
