Kv7 and Kv11 channels in myometrial regulation. [PDF]
, 2013 Ion channels play a key role in defining myometrial contractility. Modulation of ion channel populations is proposed to underpin gestational changes in uterine contractility associated with the transition from uterine quiescence to active labour.

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 ...

T-type calcium channel: a privileged gate for calcium entry and control of adrenal steroidogenesis
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2016 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.

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.

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.

Suramin-Induced Neurotoxicity: Preclinical Models and Neuroprotective Strategies
Molecules, 2018 Suramin is a trypan blue analogon originally developed to treat protozoan infections, which was found to have diverse antitumor effects. One of the most severe side effects in clinical trials was the development of a peripheral sensory-motor ...

Store-operated calcium channels in skin
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 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 ...
