Abstract excerpt
Calcium channel beta subunits are essential regulatory elements of the gating properties of high voltage-activated calcium channels. Co-expression with beta(3) subunits typically accelerates inactivation, whereas co-expression with beta(4) subunits results in a slowly inactivating phenotype. Here, we have examined the molecular basis of the differential effect of these two subunits on the inactivation...
