摘要
Voltage-dependent calcium channels couple electrical signals to cellular responses in excitable cells. Calcium channels are crucial for excitation-secretion coupling in neurons and endocrine cells, and excitation-contraction coupling in muscle. Several pharmacologically and kinetically distinct calcium channel types have been identified at the electrophysiological and molecular levels. This review summarizes the basic properties of voltage-dependent calcium channels, including mechanisms of ion permeation and block, gating kinetics, and modulation by G proteins and second messengers.
