Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of channel opening for voltage-gated calcium channels is poorly understood. The importance of a conserved isoleucine residue in the pore-lining segment IIS6 has recently been highlighted by functional analyses of a mutation (I745T) in the Ca(V)1.4 channel causing severe visual impairment (Hemara-Wahanui, A., Berjukow, S., Hope, C. I., Dearden, P. K., Wu, S. B., Wilson-Wheeler, J., Sharp, D. M.,...
