A nongenomic mechanism for progesterone-mediated immunosuppression: Inhibition of K+ channels, Ca2+ signaling, and gene expression in T lymphocytes [PDF]
, 1998 The mechanism by which progesterone causes localized suppression of the immune response during pregnancy has remained elusive. Using human T lymphocytes and T cell lines, we show that progesterone, at concentrations found in the placenta, rapidly and ...

CaV1 and CaV2 calcium channels mediate the release of distinct pools of synaptic vesicles
eLife, 2023 Activation of voltage-gated calcium channels at presynaptic terminals leads to local increases in calcium and the fusion of synaptic vesicles containing neurotransmitter.

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 ...

Voltage-gated calcium channels and their auxiliary subunits: physiology and pathophysiology and pharmacology [PDF]
, 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 CaV 1, CaV 2 and CaV 3 channels.

Nonspecific, Reversible Inhibition of Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels by CaMKII Inhibitor CK59 [PDF]
, 2013 Investigation of kinase-related processes often uses pharmacological inhibition to reveal pathways in which kinases are involved. However, one concern about using such kinase inhibitors is their potential lack of specificity.

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 ...

LRRK2 Regulates Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel Function [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2016 Voltage-gated Ca(2+) (CaV) channels enable Ca(2+) influx in response to membrane depolarization. CaV2.1 channels are localized to the presynaptic membrane of many types of neurons where they are involved in triggering neurotransmitter release. Several signaling proteins have been identified as important CaV2.1 regulators including protein kinases, G ...
