Abstract excerpt
The carboxyl terminal of the L-type calcium channel alpha1C subunit comprises approximately one third of the primary structure of the alpha1 subunit (> 700 amino acids residues). This region is sensitive to limited posttranslational processing. In heart and brain the alpha1C subunits are found to be truncated but the C-terminal domain remains functionally present. Based on our previous data we hypothesized that...
