A T-type calcium channel required for normal function of a mammalian mechanoreceptor.

Nature neuroscience - 1 Jul 2003

Shin Jung-Bum, Martinez-Salgado Carlos, Heppenstall Paul A, Lewin Gary R

Abstract excerpt

The dorsal root ganglia (DRG) contain a variety of mechanoreceptors, but no molecular markers uniquely identify specific mechanoreceptor subtypes. We have used DNA microarrays and subtracted cDNA libraries to isolate genes that are specifically expressed by one type of mouse mechanoreceptor. The T-type calcium channel Ca(v)3.2 was exclusively expressed in the DRG by D-hair receptors, a very sensitive...
