1-O-Acetylgeopyxin A, a derivative of a fungal metabolite, blocks tetrodotoxin-sensitive voltage-gated sodium, calcium channels and neuronal excitability which correlates with inhibition of neuropathic pain

open access: yesMolecular Brain, 2020
Chronic pain can be the result of an underlying disease or condition, medical treatment, inflammation, or injury. The number of persons experiencing this type of pain is substantial, affecting upwards of 50 million adults in the United States ...

Emerging roles of L-type voltage gated and other calcium channels in T lymphocytes.

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2013
In T lymphocytes, calcium ion controls a variety of biological processes including development, survival, proliferation, and effector functions. These distinct and specific roles are regulated by different calcium signals, which are generated by various ...

RGK regulation of voltage-gated calcium channels [PDF]

open access: yesScience China Life Sciences, 2015
Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) play critical roles in cardiac and skeletal muscle contractions, hormone and neurotransmitter release, as well as slower processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and death. Mutations in VGCCs lead to numerous cardiac, muscle and neurological disease, and their physiological function is ...

Functional Coupling of Cav2.3 and BK Potassium Channels Regulates Action Potential Repolarization and Short-Term Plasticity in the Mouse Hippocampus

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Signaling complexes of voltage-gated calcium channels [PDF]

open access: yesChannels, 2011
Voltage gated calcium channels are key mediators of depolarization induced calcium entry into electrically excitable cells. There is increasing evidence that voltage gated calcium channels, like many other types of ionic channels, do not operate in isolation, but instead forms signaling complexes with signaling molecules, G protein coupled receptors ...

Interaction of MDIMP with the Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Pharmacology, 2020
Amino acid-derived isoindolines are synthetic compounds that were created with the idea of investigating their biological actions. The amino acid moiety was included on the grounds that it may help to avoid toxic effects. Recently, the isoindoline MDIMP was shown to inhibit both cardiac excitation-contraction coupling and voltage-dependent calcium ...

Photocontrol of Voltage-Gated Ion Channel Activity by Azobenzene Trimethylammonium Bromide in Neonatal Rat Cardiomyocytes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
The ability of azobenzene trimethylammonium bromide (azoTAB) to sensitize cardiac tissue excitability to light was recently reported. The dark, thermally relaxed trans- isomer of azoTAB suppressed spontaneous activity and excitation propagation speed ...
