Abstract excerpt

Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) serve as a critical link between electrical signaling and diverse cellular processes in neurons. We have exploited recent advances in genetically encoded calcium sensors and in culture techniques to investigate how the VGCC alpha1 subunit EGL-19 and alpha2/delta subunit UNC-36 affect the functional properties of C. elegans mechanosensory neurons. Using the protein-based...
