Abstract excerpt
The N-type voltage-dependent calcium channels play a significant role in neurotransmitter release. The alpha1B subunit of the N-type calcium channel functions as the primary subunit that forms the pore and contains the structural motifs that mediate the pharmacological and gating properties of the channel. We report on an isoform of the alpha1B subunit that is preferentially expressed by the monoaminergic neurons...
