Abstract excerpt

The expression of different types of Ca(2+)-channels was studied using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique in cultured rat aortic smooth-muscle myocytes. Ca(2+)-currents were identified as either low- or high voltage-activated (ICa,LVA or ICa,HVA, respectively) based on their distinct voltage-de...
