Novel Cav2.1 Splice Variants Isolated from Purkinje Cells Do Not Generate P-type Ca2+ Current
1 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
The alpha(1)2.1 (alpha(1A)) subunits of P-type and Q-type Ca(2+) channels are encoded by a single gene, Cacna1a. Although these channels differ in the inactivation kinetics and sensitivity to omega-agatoxin IVA, the mechanism underlying these differences remains to be clarified. Alternative splicings of the Cacna1a transcript have been postulated to contribute to the respective properties, however, the splice...
