Abstract excerpt
Recently several mutant mouse lines lacking neuronal voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels (VDCCs) have been established by the use of gene targeting in embryonic stem cells. Pain-related behaviors in Ca(v)2.2 (alpha(1B)) and Ca(v)2.3 (alpha(1E)) knockout mice were studied to gain further insight into the mechanism of pain transmission, where VDCCs are thought to play important roles. We review here the data from...
