Calcium is an important intracellular signaling molecule, and altered calcium channel function can cause widespread cellular changes. Genetic mutations in calcium channels that cause what appear to be trivial alterations of calcium currents in vitro can result in serious diseases in muscles and the nervous system.

Neurological channelopathies [PDF]
Abstract Ion channels are membrane-bound proteins that perform key functions in virtually all human cells. Such channels are critically important for the normal function of the excitable tissues of the nervous system, such as muscle and brain.

Vulnerability of Human Cerebellar Neurons to Degeneration in Ataxia-Causing Channelopathies
Mutations in ion channel genes underlie a number of human neurological diseases. Historically, human mutations in ion channel genes, the so-called channelopathies, have been identified to cause episodic disorders.

Sudden cardiac death in young athletes: Literature review of molecular basis [PDF]
Intense athletic training and competition can rarely result in sudden cardiac death (SCD). Despite the introduction of pre-participation cardiovascular screening, especially among young competitive athletes, sport-related SCD remains a debated issue ...

TRPM3 in Brain (Patho)Physiology
Already for centuries, humankind is driven to understand the physiological and pathological mechanisms that occur in our brains. Today, we know that ion channels play an essential role in the regulation of neural processes and control many functions of ...

Voltage-gated sodium channels (Navs) are critical determinants of cellular excitability. These ion channels exist as large heteromultimeric structures and their activity is tightly controlled. In neurons, the isoform Nav1.6 is highly enriched at the axon

Mammalian Brain Ca2+ Channel Activity Transplanted into Xenopus laevis Oocytes
Several mutations on neuronal voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCC) have been shown to cause neurological disorders and contribute to the initiation of epileptic seizures, migraines, or cerebellar degeneration.
