Abstract excerpt
Molecular cloning of the low voltage-gated, T-type, calcium channel family opened new avenues of research into their structure-function, distribution, pharmacology, and regulation. Cloning of mammalian cDNAs led to the identification of three T-channel genes: CACNA1G, encoding Cav3.1; CACNA1H, encoding Cav3.2; and CACNA1I, encoding Cav3.3. This allowed sequencing of these genes in absence epilepsy patients, and...
