The Role of Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels in Pancreatic β-Cell Physiology and Pathophysiology

Abstract excerpt

Voltage-gated calcium (CaV) channels are ubiquitously expressed in various cell types throughout the body. In principle, the molecular identity, biophysical profile, and pharmacological property of CaV channels are independent of the cell type where they reside, whereas these channels execute unique functions in different cell types, such as muscle contraction, neurotransmitter release, and hormone secretion. At...
